Who we are ?
Clara Gemstone: A Legacy of Quality and Craftsmanship – For over Seventy Five year, “Our family business has a rich history dating back to 1946, when our grandfathe “Peiris Appuhami” first established a gem mining industry in Pelmadulla, Sri Lanka. For generations, we have traded in gem mines and rough gemstones, honing our expertise in the industry. The Clara Gemstone family has been dedicated to sourcing, cutting, and polishing the finest gemstones from mines across Sri Lanka. Throughout the generations, our family has built a reputation for quality, authenticity, and expertise in the gemstone trade.
Peiris Appuhami (Pic.1994)
He was born in Matara Deniya in 1915 and came to Ratnapura during the British colonial period in 1929 to work in the tea plantations. However, he soon found his true calling in 1932 when he joined a friend to work in the gem mines of Rakwana. There he befriended Muslim businessmen and joined the gem business without much hindrance.
At the end of the British colonial period, Peiris Appuhami started the first mine in Palamandulla. Since then he went mining in many parts of Sri Lanka like Pelmadulla and carried on the gem trade very successfully.
Peiris Appuhami was not only a successful gem businessman but also a philanthropist. He restored several temples and also to the problems of poor people. He lived a very prosperous life and died in 2002 leaving behind a rich legacy in the Sri Lankan gem industry.
