Established in 1980 as Rainbow Gems, our family-owned company began its journey in Colombo, founded by the late Volly Dangedara. With a vision to bring the finest Ceylon sapphires to the world, Volly sourced directly from miners in Ratnapura, the heart of Sri Lanka’s gemstone industry. His son, Anil Dangedara, joined the company in 1982, bringing his passion for gemstones and expanding its reach through long-standing relationships with international buyers. As the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Rainbow Gems, Anil continues to lead the company with a commitment to excellence. Today, we uphold this legacy as wholesale exporters, offering fine to extra-fine rare gemstones to international jewelers, branded retailers, and collectors seeking one-of-a-kind masterpieces
