Founded by master jeweller Mr. H.M. Rajapaksha in 1985, Kandyan Gem & Jewellers began as a small workshop in the heart of Kandy — the cultural capital of Sri Lanka — with a commitment to preserving the ancient art of Kandyan jewellery craftsmanship.
Today, three generations later, we remain true to our founding principles: uncompromising quality, authentic craftsmanship, and an unwavering passion for the precious gems of Sri Lanka.
Our team of fifth-generation Kandyan jewel smiths use the same hand tools and techniques passed down through centuries. From the delicate filigree work (thinly spun gold wire) to the intricate repoussé embossing, every piece is a testament to living heritage.
We combine these ancient techniques with modern gem-setting precision to create jewellery that is both timeless and wearable — pieces that become heirlooms.
Every gemstone sold is accompanied by an internationally recognised certificate of authenticity:
