The information on mikeching.com is provided for general trade and educational purposes. It is not financial, investment, or legal advice. Read this alongside our terms & conditions and privacy policy.

Gem media and colour

Video, stills, and 360° captures are produced under controlled studio lighting to show colour, brilliance, and character as honestly as practical. Monitors, phones, and ambient light still change how a stone appears. Always confirm appearance and quality through your own inspection or an independent gemological report before buying.

Listings and third-party stock

Stones may be held for clients or offered on consignment. I am not always the owner of listed inventory. Descriptions reflect information supplied at the time of capture and listing; treatment status, origin, and weight should be verified before transaction.

Prices and availability

Prices shown (if any) are indicative unless confirmed in writing. Stones can be sold, withdrawn, or reserved without the site being updated instantly. An inquiry does not create a hold. Capture sessions, catalog builds, and custom tools are quoted per brief; see digital services pricing.

Blog and journal content

Articles and field journal posts reflect personal experience in the Sri Lankan gem trade and digital workflows. They are not professional gemological certificates, export advice, or customs guidance.

Licensing and export

NGJA export licence - application in progress. References to Sri Lankan export or NGJA processes on this site are informational only until the licence is granted and published here.

External platforms

Instagram and other linked platforms host supplementary content. Their terms apply when you leave this site. I do not control how those platforms display compressed video or colour.
