What Stone N String is known for

Stone-N-String is a Sri Lankan jewelry brand handcrafting coral, semi-precious stone and sterling silver pieces across three generations. The family business, trading for more than 40 years, also sells a men's Divo collection and Ceylon cinnamon.

Stone-N-String describes itself as Sri Lanka's leading fashion jewelry name, and its own account traces the business back more than 40 years to a family passion for coral and semi-precious stones. That founding material — genuine coral — remains central to the brand's identity today, worked alongside semi-precious stone and sterling silver into necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings sold from outlets in Colombo and shipped island-wide.

The company has since built out a men's line, Divo, covering chains, cufflinks, rings and tie pins, and has diversified beyond jewelry into genuine Ceylon cinnamon products — a nod to another of Sri Lanka's signature exports. Pieces are organized around recurring collections tied to occasions like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Ramadan, alongside standing categories like lasso necklaces and pearl jewelry.

What distinguishes Stone-N-String from a typical fashion jewelry chain is the generational framing: the brand markets itself explicitly as a three-generation family craft business rather than a manufactured retail concept, with materials and techniques it describes as unchanged since its founders began. For shoppers seeking coral jewelry marketed as a distinct Sri Lankan material rather than a generic gemstone, it's a directly relevant stop.
