Yes, growing silver craft scene. Ambalangoda, Kandy, and Colombo have skilled silversmiths making pieces beyond generic tourist styles. Look for: filigree work (fine wire designs), tribal-style pieces, contemporary designers (Nileeka Wijesuriya, Sithara Silva). Rankuwa in Kandy is a good starter destination.

Prices reasonable — quality silver pieces 5000-25000 LKR. Confirm silver purity (925 sterling stamp) with the jeweler. For custom pieces, allow 3-5 days. Great alternative gift when sapphires feel too formal.
