Hey Dev Community! 👋
I'm Menula De Silva, a young developer from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and I’m excited to share my latest open-source project:
👉 Gem Price Estimator
✅ Live App: https://gemprice.vercel.app/
✅ GitHub Repo: https://github.com/DMS-Menula/Gem-Price-Estimator
🎥 Watch the trailer:

💡 What Is Gem Price Estimator?
A smart, responsive, and user-friendly tool that instantly estimates prices for precious gems based on:
✅ Gem Type
✅ Carat Weight
✅ Market Category
✅ Price Multipliers
✅ Real-time Valuation Logic
Sri Lanka is world-famous for gems and this tool helps bring that industry into modern tech.
🛠️ Why I Built This
Gem pricing online is inconsistent, outdated, and often inaccurate.
So I built a free & open-source alternative that is:
- Clean
- Fast
- Transparent
- Easy for anyone to use
My goal is to make this Sri Lanka’s #1 gem pricing tool.
🚀 Features
✅ Modern UI
✅ Real-time gem value calculation
✅ Fully responsive
✅ Beginner-friendly code
✅ Hosted on Vercel
✅ Open-source for everyone

It would be nice if you could add diamonds and paraíba to the list! Also, the reference to the data source should be nice somewhere in the project with an info how often it is updated! Thanks a lot!
