About

A Royal Heritage Our story begins centuries ago, amidst the misty hills of Kandy. In the era of Kings, our ancestors were the chosen artisans of the royal court, crafting intricate gems and jewelry that adorned the island’s nobility. The art of the goldsmith was not just a job; it was a sacred family legacy.

A Journey South As the tides of history turned and the island came under British rule, our lineage made a journey from the hill country to the southern coast. Settling down in the quiet, coastal beauty of the south, our great-grandfather reignited the family kiln from his own home. His craftsmanship was undeniable. Soon, his humble home workshop became a secret haven for high-ranking British officers seeking the finest Ceylon sapphires and gold work for their loved ones.

Four Generations of Excellence The hammer and anvil have been passed down through four generations. What started in a home workshop eventually found its heart in the historic Galle Fort. For years, the current custodian—the grandson of that pioneering artisan—operated a modest shop within these ramparts, quietly keeping the flame of traditional craftsmanship alive.

Galle Fort Jewelers Today Today, that small shop has blossomed. Recently renovated to reflect the elegance of a new era, Galle Fort Jewelers stands as a bridge between the past and the present. We have evolved from a hidden gem into a destination for travelers and connoisseurs alike.
