A Family House, Built on Legacy
Minskhi is, above all, a family house—not a corporation.
Minskhi is a multigenerational enterprise built on reputation, accountability, and personal responsibility. Every gemstone is carefully sourced, assessed, and approved with direct family involvement, and every client relationship is nurtured with intention. Success for us is not defined by volume or short-term gain, but by trust sustained across generations.Foundation and Leadership
Minskhi is built upon the legacy of Dr. Siri Meewella, whose six decades of dedication to ethical gemstone trade established the intellectual and moral foundation of the house. Today, this legacy continues under the leadership of Kalana Meewella and Mary Meewella—combining generational expertise, market intelligence, scientific knowledge, and global vision. Together, they represent the evolution of Minskhi, preserving tradition while shaping its future on the world stage.A Category of Its Own

Responsibility Beyond Jewellery
At Minskhi, every gemstone tells a story—not only of beauty and craftsmanship, but of responsibility. As a brand deeply connected to Sri Lanka’s gem lands, we believe the future of this industry must be built on sustainability, respect for nature, and meaningful support for the communities behind it.

Our presence at Chadstone—Australia’s premier luxury destination—marks a natural extension of the Minskhi philosophy. Positioned within a world-class retail environment and supported by our Burwood headquarters, this location represents the beginning of our international journey.The Meaning of Minskhi
The name Minskhi carries both personal significance and ancient symbolism. It was first given by a close friend—an enduring memory that continues to shape the spirit of the brand. Its deeper meaning was later discovered within ancient Sumerian texts, where it reflects ideas of creation, light, continuity, and a connection to the earth. This union of personal origin and historical depth defines Minskhi—a quiet link between heritage and evolution, craftsmanship and appreciation, and the natural world and those who recognise its rarest expressions.A Heritage of Six Decades
Minskhi is built upon over sixty years of family involvement in the international gemstone industry. At its foundation is Dr. Siri Meewella, whose lifelong commitment to ethical trade, scientific evaluation, and uncompromising quality established a reputation recognised across global markets. Through direct engagement with miners, cutters, and merchants across Sri Lanka’s historic sapphire regions, he developed enduring relationships grounded in trust and technical precision. This legacy continues to shape the intellectual and ethical framework guiding Minskhi today.Tradition Meets Global Perspective
Rooted in heritage, Minskhi is guided by contemporary excellence and international standards. Mary Meewella, DGA-qualified and a candidate with the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, brings scientific discipline and global best practices into the brand. Minskhi is a registered member of Gem-A London, reflecting our commitment to professional integrity and continual advancement. This balance of generational knowledge and modern analytical precision ensures each gemstone is assessed holistically—considering beauty, rarity, structure, and long-term value.A House Built for Generations
