Zam Gems (Pvt) Ltd

ZAM GEMS had very humble beginnings as a sole proprietorship in the 1970’s, when Chairman Z. A. M. M. Refai (or ZAM, as he is known in the industry) started conducting business by visiting the hotel rooms of guests in Sri Lanka, who were interested in viewing and purchasing the famous Ceylonese gemstones they had heard much about. He eventually established himself by opening an outlet called ‘El Dorado’ at the Macan Markar arcade in Galle Face in 1972. This small boutique grew into ZAM GEMS’ with the opening of the Head Office showroom in Colombo in 1976. ZAM Refai had managed to win over many of the international guests with his fine gemstones as well as his exemplary reputation for honesty and business ethics, building an international network of business contacts and lifelong friends. This reputation in a trade built on the cornerstones of trust, honesty and relationships was instrumental in the rapid rise of ZAM GEMS. ZAM Gems is synonymous with the very best of gemstones mined in Sri Lanka and is one of the leading exporters of precious stones and jewelry in the country. ZAM Gems has enjoyed tremendous success in over 45 years of business, due to the commitment to sourcing a variety of the finest gemstones Sri Lanka has to offer and combining them with skilled artisan design and workmanship to create exquisite pieces of jewelry.
