Crafting legacies, elevating standards:
Shehans’ Journey of Excellence and Tradition
In the 1940s, a tale of legacy began when Mohamed Muhsin embarked on a transformative journey from the coastal haven of Beruwala, venturing to source the most alluring colored gemstones from the heart of Ceylon. Setting the stage for an extraordinary lineage, his trading ventures took root in the revered locale of China Fort, Beruwala, which would later earn worldwide acclaim as the epicenter of gem trading.
The narrative continued to unfold during the 1960s, as his son Abul Cassim gracefully assumed the mantle of leadership. Abul Cassim’s exceptional aptitude as a gemologist was matched only by his discerning entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering dedication to philanthropy. Revered among the globe’s most discerning aficionados of fine gems and jewelry, his revolutionary methodologies in assessing and refining raw gemstones elevated his stature to new heights.
In a pivotal year, 1974, he laid the ground work for Shehans, a brand that would shape the very trajectory of the industry. This singular act set forth a journey that would chart the course for generations to come.
Mr. Abul Cassim
“Exceptional isn’t an aspiration; it’s the very essence of what we stand for.”
-Abul Cassim
Not content with the boundaries of his own accomplishments, Abul Cassim’s legacy continued as he imparted his wisdom to his children. Guided by his principles, they carried forward his remarkable vision. This familial succession not only safeguarded the legacy but propelled it to new horizons, enriching the enterprise with fresh perspectives and unwavering commitment.
Today, Shehans stands as a testament to this remarkable journey, continuing to blossom and thrive. The legacy of Mohamed Muhsin and Abul Cassim is not only sustained but magnified through the dedication and collective effort of their descendants. The brand continues to flourish, proudly upholding its presence in the most prominent gemstone sourcing markets while maintaining an influential presence at pivotal international trade events. This enduring saga of excellence, innovation, and tradition is a luminous tribute to the spirit of Shehans.
