WELCOME TO MANORA !
A FAMILY OWNED ENTITY, WHERE PASSION MEETS PRECISION
OUR BEGINNING…..
Our story begins in Dambuluwana, Rathnapura, the gem capital of Sri Lanka. Growing up with mines and feeling the warmth of the muddy grounds,the art of gem mining was something that we inherited from our great grandparents…
Our father, Anura, is a landed proprietor and a licensed gem miner who has been in the mining industry for decades with an exceptional skill of gem mining and a deep love for gemstones. As young kids, we grew up watching our father dedicate his time and effort into building a foundation to what we call MANORA today!
Is our father a gem expert!! 100% yes!! HE’S AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND FOR THE THREE OF US SIBLINGS!! And also known to be one of the most trusted, kind hearted, genuine people in the industry, providing employment for hundreds of individuals in the mining industry and taking care of them just like his own family.
Our mother, Manel, standing by his side every step of the way while encouraging us three to build our own story of gems…
Both our parents, as always, being our pillars and making sure that the future for us will be just as exciting as it has been for them over the last few decades.
And here we are today, continuing their remarkable legacy!
