About Us

MELAY PARTNERS (PVT) LTD stands as a beacon of excellence in the global gemstone trade, with a legacy rooted in the rich soils of Sri Lanka a land synonymous with the finest sapphires and other precious stones. Our journey began in 1980 when Mr. Uwais, driven by a deep passion and respect for the natural beauty of gemstones, founded the company. Today, the company is helmed by his sons, Mr. Shafni and Mr. Ajlan, who continue to uphold the values and vision that have made MELAY PARTNERS a trusted name in the industry.

Our Origins and Heritage

Sri Lanka has long been celebrated as a premier destination for gemstones, particularly sapphires. The island’s rich geology, which dates back millions of years, has produced some of the most sought-after sapphires in the world. Nestled in this gem-rich land, MELAY PARTNERS was born out of a desire to share the unparalleled beauty of these stones with the world. Our location has always been a significant advantage, allowing us direct access to a variety of high-quality gemstones right at their source.

The company’s deep connection to Sri Lanka is not just geographical but also cultural. The art of gemstone trading is deeply ingrained in the region’s history, and this tradition has been passed down through generations within our family. Mr. Uwais’s vision was to combine this time-honored tradition with modern business practices, creating a company that would stand the test of time while remaining true to its roots.
