Sri Lanka — historically known as Ceylon — is one of the world's oldest and most celebrated gemstone sources. Browse our certified sapphires, rubies, spinels, and more from this legendary island.
Sri Lanka has been a source of precious gemstones for over 2,500 years, making it one of the oldest continuously mined gem localities on earth. The island's unique geology — a complex metamorphic terrain — produces an exceptional variety of gem species in a single location: sapphires in every colour, rubies, spinels, alexandrites, cat's eyes, garnets, and more.
Ceylon sapphires — particularly the medium cornflower-blue specimens — are among the most recognised and beloved in the world. The island is also famous for producing padparadscha sapphires, the exceptionally rare pink-orange variety found in Sri Lanka and almost nowhere else.
