Every Stone Has A Story | A Conversation with Supplier, Punala Kiripitige
For our inaugural edition of ‘Every Stone Has A Story’, we introduce you to second-generation gemstone merchant, Punala Kiripitige.
Recounting the begins of his and his family’s gemstone sourcing collective, The Gem Monarchy — a happy accident which unknowingly turned into decade-spanning business — Punala talks to his family’s long-held passion for precious stones, including the Ceylon Sapphires he custom cuts for many of our pieces, how he is transforming the world of mining in his family’s native Sri Lanka with environmentally positive techniques from his home of Adelaide, and how he’s come to support his team beyond their every day work.
"We find we’re more involved in our team’s lives than other suppliers. We purchase land for housing, provide vehicles to our team, we pay for health insurance for our team... This stems from the fact that we are Buddhists, and we believe that giving to those who are less fortunate than us is a part of our daily lives."
