Brilliant Cuts (Pvt) Ltd bagged the Gold Award under the national level service sector at the Ceylon National Chamber of Industries (CNCI) Achievers Awards 2021 in Colombo recently.
Industries Minister Wimal Weerawansa was the chief guest.
The achievement by Brilliant Cuts has reaffirmed the company’s contribution to Sri Lanka’s gem and jewellery industry, bringing a newfound hope for the future of the industry to reach milestones within the wider international market.
Backed by an unwavering spirit to strive to produce nothing but the finest, Brilliant Cuts operates under the guidance of the mother and daughter duo, Malani Polgampola, Directress of Brilliant Cuts and Vindya Perera, the Managing Directress.
Vindya has laid the foundation to build her own brand, Lustre, through Brilliant Cuts and as a result she was previously awarded the Women Entrepreneur of the Year Award at Sabaragamuwa Province Best Entrepreneur Awards in 2020, the Youngest Entrepreneur of the Year Award from Sabaragamuwa Chamber of Commerce in 2019 and the Bronze Award from National Chamber of Exporters.
The concept of Brilliant Cuts and Lustre are such that they operate as two local platforms which opens a creative space for novice and expert lapidary artists to improve their talent, and pave the away for a rewarding career path for themselves in the Sri Lankan gem and jewellery industry, by pushing the boundaries.
The guidance provided by the company to their lapidary artists has brought hope and opportunities for their careers to flourish in the local and international gem and jewellery market, ensuring a brighter future for those who lay their passion in crafting gems and jewellery. Initiatives have been put in place by Brilliant Cuts to expand the local gem and jewellery industry towards the international market.
However, unfortunate circumstances keep arising due to various reasons through distinctive distribution platforms in Sri Lanka, therefore, a large number of products of the brand are unable to be distributed to the international market, resulting in a fluctuation of production.
The company strives to address these issues in the future with stronger and effective means of distribution. As the industry progresses towards innovation and modernity, Brilliant Cuts is undoubtedly at the forefront of being a catalyst to accelerate progressive initiatives, a company spokesman said.
