Celebrating 7 Years in Galle: The Heritage Collection

The Heritage Collection brings together traditional gold jewellery in Sri Lanka to mark the 7th anniversary of our Galle branch. Nearly 100 pieces carry the stories, craftsmanship and cultural significance of generations past.

Jewellery preferences have changed significantly over time. In earlier generations, gold jewellery was often heavier, more intricate and more elaborate. Today, most customers prefer lighter, everyday pieces. Rather than melting down designs that have fallen out of fashion, we have brought approximately 100 pieces together to preserve their visibility and allow customers to appreciate the craftsmanship behind them.

More than a jewellery launch, the Heritage Collection is an invitation to rediscover traditional artistry, celebrate our seven-year journey in Galle, and experience how jewellery has evolved across generations.

106 Years of Excellence

A legacy worth preserving

Many older designs require detailed handcrafting that cannot be reproduced through standardised machine production — shaping individual components, creating intricate patterns, and carefully assembling each element by hand.

The Pol Mal Malaya

The Pol Mal Malaya is a traditional Sri Lankan gold necklace design associated with the coconut flower motif. Known for its distinctive structure and elaborate appearance, pieces of this kind can require substantial quantities of gold and detailed handwork.

The Siribo Malaya

The Siribo Mala is particularly demanding to produce because of its detailed handmade work, unsuited to mass production. Its craftsmanship, gold content and labour contribute to a cost best appreciated beyond monetary value.
