# JOALYS Paris - Luxury Colored Gemstones

> JOALYS is a direct-from-mine colored gemstone dealer based in Paris, France. Joalys was founded in 2023 by Ilyes Makria, a gemstone sourcer who travels directly to the mines and markets. He buys from mining and cutting families in Sri Lanka who have worked these stones for generations. Every stone is verified independently by Lanka Gem Laboratory, run by a GIA Graduate Gemologist who is not part of JOALYS — the sourcer does not grade his own stones. For high-value stones, reports from Gübelin, SSEF or AGL are available on request. JOALYS sources sapphires, rubies, spinels, tourmalines, and other precious stones directly from partner mines in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Tanzania, and Myanmar. Sealed and insured worldwide express shipping. 7-day money-back guarantee, and EU and UK consumers keep their statutory 14-day right of withdrawal. Prices 30-50% below traditional retail by eliminating middlemen.
