I'm not an expert to comment on authenticity of the gems and stones.But we made a purchase last week at Premadasas Kandy Store. Being a curious person I checked the ring prices for similar item at other stores across Srilanka and found that I've overpaid. I really doubt that this brand being told that it is old and genuine if it really is.

IF A FAKE IS WHAT YOU WANT PURCHASE HERE, BUYER BEWARE the photo of the ring and Earrings are infused fakes

Good service and hard to resist the persistent sales chat

Nice stones there u can see and the video of how they srilankian Discovered those stones . But so expensive to buy :)

There is a lady that does the tour that is a gemologist. She was really helpful in giving the background at their kandy branch.

If you want to get ripped off you can buy gems here. Their prices are 3 to 10 times compared to other genuine shop so ask for 70 to 90% discount else don't buy. Once you pay you are done. Be happy with overpriced gems. Don't get impressed with the 10 minit video there.

We were shown a documentary on how Ceylon gems are curated, and, the history behind them. Followed by a very humble man suggesting us to buy a few gems. He quided us about a ring and a pair of earrings. Good collection, contemporary designs. Pretty gems.

Such a nice and amazing stone and minerals you can buy from here

Co operative. Quality Gems. Good staff.

Very good place to visit

We spent a lot of money on two green sapphires here when in Sri Lanka, to make into earrings. We saved up money to make the earrings up, but the jeweller in the UK where we live, found a crack in one of the gems, that ran right the way through. After many attempts over 6 weeks to find out what Premadesas would do about it, we were told it must be our fault and were offered a 25% discount off buying another gem. Why would we spend more money with them? And it was highly unlikely we were going to Sri Lanka again. They sold us something that was bad quality, we couldn't use and the least I expected was money back for that one gem. Their guarantees are worthless, their service is poor and I felt it was a scam.

Needlessly expensive. Don't waste your money here. Pushy sale people.
