Our Story
A Family Legacy Since 1978
Founded in 1978 in the historic town of Galle, Sri Lanka. The Sparkle Gems Co is a family-owned business with a global reach. From humble beginnings in local gem trading started by Mohamed Anver then passed onto his Son-in-Law Mohamed Ifham. Now they've grown into a trusted international supplier of high-quality gemstones. With over 40 years of experience, we proudly export to markets in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
Sri Lanka—known as the "Gem Island"—is famed for its rare and exquisite stones. Our deep roots and trusted local partnerships give us direct access to Ceylon sapphires, rubies, spinels, tourmalines, and more, ensuring exceptional quality and fair pricing for every customer.
On to the next Gen...
Today, the legacy of Sparkle Gems Co continues into its next generation with Inshath Ifham and Ijas Ifham, the grandsons of the founder. Building on decades of family experience, they are taking the business forward by combining traditional gemstone knowledge and trusted relationships with modern technology and digital commerce. Under their vision, Sparkle Gems Co has expanded beyond traditional markets, making our gemstones, jewellery, and expertise accessible to customers around the world. Through our digital presence, international network, and commitment to personalized service, we continue to preserve the values passed down through generations while embracing new opportunities in the global gemstone industry.
