You’re already part of CAGS. Now belong to it.
You may have learned with us, attended a class, become an alumnus, used a CAGS service, or connected with us in another way. Membership Lounge is where that relationship becomes something more — recognised membership, greater privilege and a closer connection to CAGS.
This is not a membership you need before you can enter the CAGS ecosystem. You are already in it. Membership is for when you want more from that relationship.
There is a difference between having a CAGS experience and being a CAGS member.
You might have come to CAGS for one course. One appraisal. One practical session. One service. One event.
But your connection with CAGS does not have to end with that transaction. Membership gives your relationship a recognised place.
You already have a history with us.
Membership starts from that existing connection. You are not being treated as a completely new customer every time.
Now you have a level.
Emarald, Ruby and Sapphire give you a defined membership status, with privileges and access that grow with your level.
Recognition. Privilege. Access. A closer relationship with CAGS.
Your membership is not valuable only because of a percentage written beside a service. It is valuable because you have a recognised place within the CAGS ecosystem — and your membership level comes with its own set of privileges.
Your member privileges
Here’s what you get as your membership level goes up.
Some privileges give you included services. Some give you discounts. Some give you access or priority. Here is what each one means for you.
CAGS Gem Price Estimation Calculator
Go beyond generic gem price calculators.
Gem pricing in Sri Lanka cannot always be understood through generic global data. CAGS developed this calculator in-house specifically around the Sri Lankan gem market.
It brings together research-backed gem data, Sri Lankan market context, scientific calculation methods, and live-updating market data to help you arrive at a more meaningful price estimate.
You are not relying on a generic online calculator. You are using a system developed around the market you actually work in.
When you need CAGS Gem Price Estimation Calculator, your membership gives you a defined number of included pricing services each year.
