Colombo: Gemstone & Jewelry Experience with GIA Gemologists

Discover the world of Sri Lankan gemstones on a private tour in Colombo. Visit a lapidary, learn about gems, and design your own jewelry with a GIA-trained gemologist.
Begin your experience with a pickup from your hotel in Colombo. Travel in a clean, air-conditioned private car to a trusted lapidary or workshop. Watch as gemstones are cut, polished, and set, gaining insights into the intricate process.

Next, visit a reliable gemstone showroom or mine-area partners. Focus on education rather than sales, learning about the different types of gemstones and their origins.

Participate in a mini workshop where your guide explains how gemstones are graded, how to spot fakes, and the differences between heat-treated and natural stones. Learn how to buy safely in Sri Lanka, ensuring you get the best value for your money.

Inspect loose stones with professional tools, ask questions, and learn how professional gemologists think. Gain a deeper understanding of the gem world and the skills required to identify high-quality stones.

Optionally, design a simple ring or pendant, choose a stone with expert guidance, and place an order for a custom piece to be made in the workshop. Finally, drive back to your hotel in Colombo, reflecting on your newfound knowledge and appreciation for gemstones.
