About Us
Who We Are
Based in Colombo, New World Gem was formed in 1989 by Mr Azmi Sameen, who had been in the gemstone and lapidary trade since the late 70’s. With over 4 decades of experience in the trade, today our founders’ vision brings together a combination of three pillars- Lapidary services, supplying color stones, and on-site gem buying consultancy. We are a family-based business passionate about gemstones and committed to making strong business relationships with our stakeholders.
Travelling to trade shows since the 1980s, we have to date exhibited in many gemstone fairs around the world. You can meet us at the GJX Tucson, Arizona, Hong Kong Gem & Jewellery Fairs, China Gem & Jewellery Fairs, Japan Gem Show, Munich, Germany Mineral Shows.
Building new relationships, travelling and having consistent, honest dealings with our stakeholders is a way of business we embody.
