Discover the Magic of Sri Lankan Sapphires: The King of Gems

Sri Lanka is famous worldwide for its stunning sapphires, often called “Ceylon sapphires” after the island’s old name. But what makes these sapphires so special?
Rich History and Heritage
Sri Lankan sapphires have a history that spans thousands of years. Ancient kings and royalty prized these gems for their vivid colors and rarity. Today, these sapphires are still considered some of the most beautiful and valuable in the world.
Vibrant Colors and Unique Quality
Ceylon sapphires are known for their bright, clear, and vibrant blue hues, which differ from the darker blues often seen in sapphires from other regions. Beyond blue, Sri Lanka produces sapphires in a rainbow of colors — pink, yellow, green, and even rare padparadscha sapphires, which have a delicate pink-orange shade.
