Already found a stone yourself?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work with you remotely?
Yes. Many clients work with me remotely. I can advise on sourcing decisions, assess stones, and provide local market insight without you needing to be present.
Can you accompany me in person while I source gemstones?
Absolutely. If you're travelling , I can act as your on-the-ground guide, helping you navigate markets, meet vetted suppliers, and make purchases safely and ethically. I could organise an exclusive visit to the mines in Ratnapura. You choose whether you want me with you in person or working on your behalf.
Do you sell gemstones directly?
No. I am independent and do not sell gemstones. This ensures my advice remains objective and focused solely on your interests.
Is certification enough when buying gemstones?
Certification is useful but does not replace expert interpretation. Cutting quality, durability, treatments, and overall value require professional assessment.
How do you approach ethical gemstone sourcing?
I prioritise transparency and responsible sourcing, working with trusted contacts and carefully assessing origin, quality and authenticity before advising clients.
Can you help if I am planning to visit Sri Lanka or Vietnam?
Absolutely. I can help you prepare, understand what to expect, and approach the market informed, not overwhelmed.
How are your Gemstone Sourcing Services paid?
My services are structured transparently and discussed during consultation, depending on your requirements.
What makes your service different from going directly to suppliers?
Most suppliers work in their own interest. I work solely for you, independently reviewing stones, verifying authenticity, assessing value and ensuring ethical sourcing. Think of me as your personal advocate in the gemstone world.
How do I get started?
Start with a private consultation where we discuss your requirements, budget and preferences. From there, I'll guide you on the best approach for your situation.
