About Us
Driven by a passion for crafting high-end jewellery pieces that parallel world standards, DINIDU was founded by Dinidu Tennakoon in 2020 with a vision to transform the gold-dominated jewellery industry in Sri Lanka. Going beyond the domestic norms of craftsmanship, DINIDU unveils new horizons of high-quality jewellery design that celebrates the beauty of diamonds and coloured stones in luxury crafts. Our affiliation with the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), expertise in new-age 3D design, pioneering approach to custom-making high-end pieces and unrivalled presence in the social media market set us apart from the rest while defining our excellence that stands beyond compare.
Sourcing Only From The Best
We know best that the true beauty of a fine jewel lies in the origin of its precious stones and materials. We source the most exquisite gemstones from Sri Lanka, known particularly for its unparalleled Ceylon Sapphires that have adorned the jewels of many royals around the world. We also procure from the world’s best, ranging from Mozambique, Burma, Madagascar, Zambia, Colombia, and Tanzania, with each piece showcasing the unique beauty of their origin. With our state-of-the-art in-house facilities for pre-forming, cutting, polishing, and heat treatment, we ensure a strong commitment to precision, quality and sustainability in each precious stone we shape to create the most stunning piece you have ever seen.
Sustainable Craftsmanship
Our mission is not only to create exquisite jewellery that gleams from the outside but also to radiate brilliance throughout the entire process of creation. Our unwavering commitment to sustainability ensures that each jewellery piece is adorned with gemstones and diamonds sourced responsibly while adhering to industry standards and regulated practices and processes. All our factories are powered by solar energy, and our recycling facilities are maintained to minimise any resource wastage. As our dedication to reducing our environmental footprint is woven into every elegant piece you wear, sustainability is not a matter of choice, but a commitment we assure when you select DINIDU.
Generations of Artistry Inspired Craftsmanship
Renowned as the jewellers to the monarchs and the world, Sri Lanka’s jewellery artisans have a history steeped in creating adornments fit for kings. We strive to carry this legacy forward by seamlessly uniting traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary approach to design. Combined with modern technology and sustainable design, each piece endeavours to preserve and take forward the cultural significance and artistic grandeur that has defined Sri Lankan jewellery for centuries. We ensure that each design precisely captures the essence of our customers' vision and worldly trends while cherishing the history, motifs and storied pasts that have inspired jewellery-making for generations.
