Our Story

A heritage of excellence in Ceylon gemstones spanning over two decades

Silva Gems was founded in 1998 with a simple vision: to bring the world's finest Ceylon gemstones directly from Sri Lanka's legendary mines to discerning collectors and jewelry enthusiasts worldwide.

What started as a small family business in the heart of Colombo has grown into one of Sri Lanka's most trusted names in the gem industry. Our founder, Mr. Silva, began his journey in the gemstone trade as an apprentice to master gem cutters in Ratnapura, learning the ancient arts of gem identification, cutting, and valuation that have been passed down through generations.

Today, we continue to honor those traditions while embracing modern technology and international standards. Every gemstone in our collection is hand-selected by our expert gemologists, ensuring that only the finest specimens make it to our customers.
