Gem Museum
The Gem Museum in Colombo harks back to the 1920s, when Mohamed Mahmood, a young Muslim with a passion for precious stones, started what is now City of Gems, a fourth-generation family business.
Adding to the Colombo shopping experience is handcrafted jewelry created by in-house goldsmiths using time-honoured master-craftsman traditions and stones sourced from the company’s own mines.
Says the company: “Whether you are a traveler looking for a timeless memento or someone seeking the ideal gift with the right sparkle or even a true aficionado with an appreciation for the finer things in life, your quest ends here.
“Our network of island-wide showrooms house the rarest of raw gem stones to flawless sapphires and diamonds to the more unique blend of platinum and white gold jewelry.”
