The gem trade has relied on mutual trust for millennia. CGR modernizes that tradition. We do not sell gems or act as brokers—we are a trust registrar that meticulously screens Sri Lankan merchants so you can negotiate directly with complete confidence.
Buying high-value stones directly from the source yields the best market pricing, but it exposes international buyers to risks of anonymity, misrepresentation, and fraud.
The Ceylon Gem Registry eliminates anonymity. Every merchant operating an online vault on our platform pays a recurring corporate space subscription and passes strict regulatory and identity checks. We curate the network so you can safely bypass traditional trade middlemen.
We do not permit anonymous or pseudonymous accounts. Every merchant must submit their valid National Identity Card (NIC) or Passport, along with verified residential or commercial corporate operating details before their vault profile configuration is activated.
Commercial dealers on CGR must supply their valid National Gem & Jewellery Authority (NGJA) dealer license number. We manually verify these licenses against government registers to ensure you are communicating directly with legitimate, law-abiding trade professionals.
Sellers cannot simply text you a certificate. When a gem is listed, the accompanying laboratory document (GIA, GRS, FGA, or authorized local reports) must be attached as a legible payload. Our staff regularly audits listed reports against online laboratory portal tracking metrics.
Our platform code strictly outlaws the use of digital saturation tools, artificial contrast modifications, or generative AI image enhancement filters. Stones must be documented under natural daylight conditions or professional 5500K balanced grading bulbs.
Because CGR is a SaaS lead-generation workspace and not a payment middleman, your transaction bypasses the standard 5% to 15% marketplace markups. The prices you see on dealer vaults represent raw, direct wholesale evaluations.
Instant WhatsApp connection with verified merchants.
Request custom lighting vectors & 360° macros.
Negotiate terms directly without broker fees.
Insured shipping via corporate courier permits.
Open online classified boards allow anonymous scammers to repeatedly generate throwaway profiles. Because CGR requires recurring space subscriptions, malicious bad-actors are entirely priced out, ensuring our registry data stays unpolluted and secure.
Misrepresenting a stone’s treatment tier (e.g., passing a Beryllium-diffused gem as standard thermal heat, or passing a synthetic diamond as natural) triggers instantaneous workspace liquidation, permanent banishment from our registry network, and data referral directly to the National Gem & Jewellery Authority.
