About us

Founded in 1980 by Mohamed Bary in the historic Galle Fort of Sri Lanka, Bary & Co. began as a small veranda lapidary, hand-cutting gemstones for curious travelers. In 1988, we debuted at the Tucson Gem Show and soon grew into an international brand.

Today, headquartered in New York as Bary Gems Inc., we exhibit at 35+ major shows annually and operate our own online boutique—offering a permanent 12% direct-purchase savings versus third-party marketplaces.

Our promise to you:

Authenticity & Ethics: All gems sourced through Sri Lanka’s official Gem Authority.

Best Value: Direct-from-mine pricing, no hidden commissions.

Quality Guarantee: 15-day money-back and satisfaction assurance.

With over 40 years of expertise, we’re proud to share our passion for exceptional gemstones—welcome to the Bary & Co. family!
