It was a pleasure to visit a gem shop during our tour in Sri Lanka. We spent memorable time in this gem shop . No regrets of buying gems from this shop.

Me and my wife visited here as part of our tour of Sri Lanka as it was in our travel itinerary. To be honest beforehand I was not at all interested in going but anyway we went. We got to watch a short video which was really interesting and then see the workshop. We really had gone with no intention of buying anything. But came out having spent a fortune buying a valuable ring for my wife. It was genuine blue sapphire ring with diamonds and was beautiful. We have no regrets spending so much it was worth it. Please if you are interested, pick your gem and pay by weight and then it is made into a jewellery of your choice. All items came with a certificate. We will be keen to see what these items are valued at when we return home.…

Our driver guide brought us here, and we were shown a short video on gem mining and given a briefing on Sri Lankan precious stones, which was quite interesting. It was obvious to the member of staff that was escorting us around the Centre that we weren't interested in buying anything so he left us alone and we browsed some of the fine jewellery on the huge sales floor before making a swift exit. Certainly worth a look if you are keen on gems and jewellery, but ensure you know what you want and what a true valuation is. Recommend that you check on previous Trip Advisor reviews!…
