Buying Gold in Colombo

Sea Street (Chekku Street), Pettah — Colombo is Sri Lanka's gold market, and Sea Street in Pettah — also known as Chekku Street — is the country's gold street, lined with jewellers who have traded there for generations. Sri Lanka quotes gold per tola and per pawun (8 grams), and 22K is the everyday standard for bridal and daily jewellery, with 24K bars and coins bought for investment. Wedding buying dominates, and the city's jewellers also serve the large community of Sri Lankans working in the Gulf who buy on visits home.

Colombo jewellers quote the daily rate plus making charges — ask for the making charge separately and compare it between the Sea Street shops and the jewellers in the city's malls. 22K is the standard for jewellery; if you are buying for investment, 24K bars carry the lowest premium over the metal price. Check the karat stamp and keep the invoice with the weight and karat stated.
