Stones of CeylonRough & Cut

By colour

Brown stones

The colour nobody markets, which is exactly why there is a family for it. Hessonite's cinnamon, the honey and brown zircons, sinhalite. Filing a brown stone under orange would flatter it, and this shop would rather name it.

What counts as brown: Low-saturation, usually high-tone yellow-to-orange hues. Brown is not a hue either, and a shop that has no brown family quietly files its brown stones under orange. A stone that changes colour is listed under both of its faces, so it appears here if it reads brown in either light.

Nothing brown in stock at the moment.

Stock is one of a kind and turns over. Most of what passes through is bought at source, so a standing brief is filled more often than not.

Looking for something specific

Most of what passes through here is bought to order.

Every stone here is one stone — when it sells it’s gone, and what you’re after may not be in stock today. Standing briefs are how that is usually solved, and taking them is the next thing to switch on.

The standing brief is not open yet.

There is no contact address on the site yet either. Rather than take a message nobody can read, we would rather tell you that now — which is also, we think, the more useful thing to know about a shop.
