You can buy all kinds of beautiful jewellry in Sri Lanka. As in India the Sri Lankans love gold so finding pure gold of 22 or 24 carat purity is easy here. Be mindful though that because the gold is pure it will also be very soft so may not hold its shape as well as when mixed with other metals...this is what gives the structural component. Similarly the precious gemstones are also pure...which means they may come with faults that might not be ironed out at the source. Make sure you know exactly what you want or take someone experienced with you to make your purchase...the country is very rich in all kinds of gemstones but especially beautiful saphires....
