What to expect

Visit Kandy's most trustworthy gem museum. This tour will takes you on a sublime journey, where you will learn everything you need to know about gems and jewellery in Sri Lanka.
The mine: Your journey will begin at the gem mine. Complete with life-like models and ambient sound effects, the mine will help you understand the effort and extent of labour that is required, in the quest to find the gem stones.

Your next stop is at the Lapidary, where precious gemstones are intricately cut and polished to perfection. The gems are then moved to the laboratory where they are inspected, quality checked, and sent to our designers to be transformed into works of art.
At the workshop these exquisite gems are set in precious metals by highly skilled craftsmen realizing our dream of creating precious works of art.

At the Museum : See natural gems in their original crystal forms, placed among antiques and artefacts in our cave-like museum. You can see how the gems are first found in the mines in crystal, fragment or pebble form. Some are as small as a pin head and some weigh several kilograms and they come in all kinds of shapes, colours and qualities.
