Natural gemstones, chosen one by one in Sri Lanka

I don't own a mine. In Sri Lanka no foreigner is allowed to. So I go, I sit at the table, and I buy each stone with my own eyes, one to two hands from the ground. After your purchase, the stone is sent to an independent laboratory outside JOALYS, and the report is enclosed.

From sapphire to spinel

Most of the catalogue is what the island itself produces: sapphire, spinel, garnet, chrysoberyl, moonstone. Some stones are East African rough cut in Ceylon, never sold as Ceylon. What the island doesn't have, emerald for instance, comes from partners who do only that. Every stone is photographed in studio, true to its colour.

How you buy

Every stone is sealed, insured and shipped express worldwide. You have 7 days to look at it in natural light. If it isn't the one, I take it back and refund you in full.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are JOALYS prices set?
I buy one to two hands from the ground. The usual road adds a broker, Bangkok, a wholesaler, then a house in Paris: seven to ten hands. Fewer hands means fewer margins stacked on the same stone.
Are JOALYS gemstones certified?
After your purchase, every stone is sent to an independent laboratory outside JOALYS, so the sourcer never grades his own stones. The report is enclosed.
How does the 7-day guarantee work?
You receive your stone sealed and insured. You have 7 days to examine it. If it doesn't meet your expectations, we take it back and refund you fully, with no conditions and no fees.
Where do your gemstones come from?
Most come from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), bought on site. Some are East African rough cut on the island, and are never sold as Ceylon. What the island doesn't produce, such as emerald, comes from specialist partners.
Do you offer unheated gemstones?
Yes, we offer a wide selection of unheated stones, particularly in sapphires and spinels. Treatment status is clearly indicated on every product page.
