The Story Behind Sapphires from Sri Lanka

For centuries, Sri Lanka, also known as the “Island of Gems”—has been celebrated for producing some of the world’s most exquisite sapphires. The island’s rich gem deposits, especially from regions like Ratnapura, yield sapphires with remarkable clarity and vibrant hues. These Ceylon sapphires are treasured for their natural brilliance and exceptional light reflection, setting them apart from stones of other origins. Each sapphire carries with it a legacy of artisanal mining, ethical sourcing, and meticulous craftsmanship that connects the gem’s ancient heritage to today’s fine jewellery creations.

 

 

The Craftsmanship Behind Ceylon Sapphire Jewellery

 

Each Ceylon sapphire is carefully shaped and set by skilled artisans who combine generations of expertise with modern precision. Sri Lankan gem cutters are renowned for enhancing a sapphire’s natural brilliance through expert faceting that maximises light reflection. Every gemstone is individually studied before cutting to highlight its best colour and clarity. The result is jewellery that showcases not only the beauty of Ceylon Sri Lankan sapphires but also the artistry and dedication behind every handcrafted piece. From engagement rings to pendants or ear rings, it suits all your jewellery piece.

Sri Lankan Sapphire - FAQs

What makes Sri Lankan (Ceylon) sapphires unique?

Sri Lankan rare sapphires are known for their exceptional clarity, brilliance, and vibrant range of colours — especially the signature Ceylon Blue. The island’s unique geological conditions produce sapphires with lighter, brighter tones and remarkable transparency, setting them apart from stones found elsewhere.

What colours are available in Sri Lankan sapphires?

While Ceylon Blue is the most famous, Sri Lankan mines produce sapphires in a stunning variety of colours — including pink, yellow, white, and the rare Padparadscha sapphire, known for its delicate blend of pink and orange tones.

How are Ceylon sapphires different from Kashmir or Madagascar sapphires?

Ceylon sapphires are known for their lighter, more brilliant blues compared to the velvety tone of Kashmir sapphires or the darker hues of Madagascar stones. They often show higher clarity and stronger sparkle due to fewer inclusions, offering excellent value and beauty.
