Our Story
Every great company has a story. It is the story that shaped them to be who they are. From the greatest athletes to the politicians who changed the course of our planet, everybody has a wonderful story that can shake the world for better.
Our story begins a few years back, to be exact during 2013. Rajitha, the team leader is a student in college who is studying about creativity and entrepreneurship. One fateful day a stranger pops up and changes the course of Rajitha and how he sees the world. This stranger is a teacher, a guru – an undeniably beautiful human being with a soft-spoken voice and truckload of generosity and kindness.
He with his utter nature from giving back to the society starts a cult in College to teach some student a beautiful art. This art is called – understanding the earth and its precious gifts or more commonly known as – gemology. This special guru was Mr Sunil Bharatha Perera. Here he is- a renowned gemologist who travelled the earth looking for great gemstones and minerals- who studied them with such wide-eyed wonder and has a stack of books and journals all devoted to discovering the secrets mother earth has hidden in her belly. With the help of a beloved teacher – Mr Rukmal Weerasinghe - the cult started following this gemologist guru and become fascinated by each and every day. The original cult had seven members – Rajitha, Chathurani, Mihin, Eranga, Chathuranga, Roshan and Lasith. With the help of guru, they started conquering the world in order to understand the world of gemology and took their own paths in starting a business. The story of Blue Heart – starts on a faithful day when Rajitha discovered that he has the perfect idea on how he can make the world a better place - one stone at a time.
So Rajitha, armed with his sheer will power started Blue Heart as a company who is dedicated to adding value to human lives- to make people beautiful- to believe that the world needs to be raised to a higher level. The beginnings were always difficult. The climb to the top is hard and often lonely. Rajitha started the long and strenuous life of building his dream. There were days when he couldn’t even manage to secure one deal. There were months spent on fruitless pursue of precious gemstones in Rathnapura, Beruwala, Kuruwita and all over the gem hubs of Sri Lanka.
Then everything started changing. It was as the universe was secretly planning to reward him for his patience and grit. But he never realized that his lucky break would come - disguised as friends who were dear and near to them. These good-hearted men and women started believing in him. They started to bring business to him. The journey started as a one man’s game to build a dream has now become a team of six members working full time and part time helping him to make his client's dreams come true.
We believe that any dream cannot be built without fighting for it. This dream of Blue Heart would not have been possible if there were two forces of power. The genuine support of friends and loved ones and my determination to bring the dream in my heart to the world. This year since Blue Heart is conducting their second giveaway, the Story of Ours – is a tribute to those men and women who believed in us. It didn’t matter whether it was just a helpful word, a pat on the back or a genuine smile – your support helped us to build this dream. The dream of ours to move ahead and award every customer who walks in our path to be a king and a queen. To wow them with our immaculately crafted jewellery, to dazzle you with the beautiful gemstones.
Thank You for writing our story.
