Our House
A patient craft, passed down by hand.
Lansakara was founded in Ratnapura, the City of Gems, by a family that has worked beside Sri Lankan cutters and silversmiths for three generations.
01
Sourced at origin
We buy directly from cutters in Ratnapura, Meetiyagoda, and Beruwala, never through brokers. Provenance lives in our books, not on the box.
02
Cut by hand
Every gem is finished on traditional lapidary wheels, proportioned to the rough rather than to a calibrated weight.
03
Set in Colombo
Our silversmiths fabricate each setting from sterling in our Colombo workshop. No cast inventories, only made-to-order pieces.
A good stone should not shout. It should hold the light, the way a quiet voice holds a room.

Process
Slow trade, by design.
- 01
Select the rough
Every parcel inspected under both daylight and tungsten. We walk away from more than we buy.
- 02
Cut for colour
Each gem is oriented to maximise colour saturation, not retained weight.
- 03
Certify
Independent reports from GIA, GRS, or the Gem and Jewellery Authority of Sri Lanka, on request.
- 04
Set and deliver
Set in sterling in our Colombo studio, then shipped insured across the island.
