Preserve provenance
Document Sri Lankan origin and keep that information connected as gemstones move between participating businesses.
Sri Lanka Gem Provenance Circle
Turning Sri Lankan provenance into recognised value.
Sri Lanka's gem industry brings together distinctive origins, generations of expertise, and skilled craftsmanship. The Sri Lanka Gem Provenance Circle connects businesses across the gem and jewellery value chain through a shared approach to traceability, helping them document and communicate the origin, journey, and transformation of Sri Lankan gemstones.
Keep the origin visible and give buyers more to understand.
The story of a Sri Lankan gemstone should travel with it. Keeping provenance information connected helps businesses explain what stands behind their products, support buyer conversations with records, and make the contribution of Sri Lankan producers and craftspeople more visible.
Strengthen recognition
Give buyers and partners a clearer understanding of your gemstones, your expertise, and your contribution to their journey.
Build together
Help shape a practical approach to traceability informed by the businesses that produce, transform, and trade Sri Lankan gemstones.
A shared foundation for Sri Lankan provenance
The long-term ambition is to build a connected ecosystem that strengthens the position of Sri Lankan products in international markets. By carrying credible provenance from source to market, businesses can better demonstrate the value behind their products, strengthen buyer confidence and give Sri Lankan origin greater weight in commercial conversations.
Starting with gem and jewellery
Gem and jewellery is the first focus because provenance already plays an important role in how these products are valued and traded internationally.
Designed to go further
The same principle can eventually support other Sri Lankan products where origin, transformation and authenticity contribute to market value.
One journey, built step by step.
Each business records the part of the journey it is responsible for. Producers record origin, cutters add transofrmation, exporters add movement and other participants continue the record through the value chain.

Scans the QR code and sees the story
No single business has to reconstruct the entire journey. Each participant strengthens the record by adding the part they can stand behind.
From individual records to collective strength.
Individual records become more valuable when they connect across the industry. By contributing to a shared provenance framework, businesses help create a clearer, more recognisable picture of Sri Lankan origin from source to market.
Distinctive national identity
Keep Sri Lankan origin visible and recognisable as gemstones move into international markets.
Visibility across the value chain
Link the information recorded by each actor to provide clearer product journeys between businesses and markets.
International market visibility
Give Sri Lankan businesses more structured and verifiable provenance to support their value proposition with international buyers.
Greater recognition of local value
Capture the value added in Sri Lanka at each stage, so origin and local expertise remain part of how the product is perceived internationally.
Stronger basis for buyer confidence
Make key provenance information easier to verify, helping buyers feel more confident about the product and its value.
Clear standards, shared responsibility.
Participation by choice.
Businesses choose whether to participate, and remain independent in how they buy, sell, and manage their commercial relationships.
Control over your information.
You decide what is recorded, what remains private, and what is shared. The visibility of your information depends on the permissions you provide.
Records grounded in evidence.
The initiative preserves the information contributed along the journey while each participant remains responsible for the declarations they provide.
Visibility that supports opportunity.
The initiative can strengthen visibility, provenance, and buyer confidence, while commercial relationships remain in the hands of each business.
