Gem Buying in Sri Lanka
According to the chronicles, Sri Lankan gem industry has a very long history and dates back even before the 6th century B.C... It is one of the oldest industries, which for centuries has supplied the gem market with a large number and wide variety of Gemstone which still plays a major contribution to Sri Lankan economy.
The National Gem and Jewelry Authority (NGJA) of Sri Lanka is the only regulatory body of the gem and jewelry trade in Sri Lanka.
All export parcels are channeled through the National Gem & Jewellery Authority (NGJA) where they are tested for genuineness by a panel consisting of ‘NGJA’ and Sri Lanka Customs Gemologists. NGJA also maintains a state-of-the-art gem-testing laboratory, providing gem testing and certification facilities for a nominal fee for the local gem dealers, and completely free of charge for foreigners. Gemstones exported only as a Finished cut and polished stone either faceted or cabochon, ready for use. |
The Best way to buy Sri Lanka GemsThe 'price' of a gem increases every time it changes hands. The miner sells it to the importer who sells it to the cutter who sells it to the dealer who sells it to the jeweler and then to the customer who has thus paid at lest five times more than he could have if purchased direct.
