Collection: About Us
Blue Duke International PTY LTD was founded in Sri Lanka in the early 1990s, driven by the vision of Mr. K. Walpitagama. What began as a family business aimed at sharing the beauty and glamour of Ceylon gems has evolved into a renowned name in the jewellery industry, offering unique designs paired with exquisite craftsmanship.
Before establishing Blue Duke International PTY LTD, Mr. Walpitagama held prominent roles in the Ceylon Gems and Jewellery Authority, overseeing purchasing, sales, and education and training initiatives. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, he was recognized in 1997 as the best heat treater of gems for color enhancement on the island.
Under his leadership, Blue Duke International successfully exported gems and jewelry to various countries, including the USA, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and China.
Expanding our reach, we established Blue Duke Gems & Jewellery PTY LTD in Australia, with bases in Melbourne and Adelaide, further enhancing our commitment to sharing the beauty of Ceylon gems with a global audience.
