I love this antique cushion, unheated, Ceylon yellow sapphire.
Hailing from the gem fields of Balangoda, it was
cut & polished in Ratnapura by our gem artist Kumar. Ratnapura is
called the city of gems, known since antiquity. Marco Polo, a
Venetian merchant, explorer and writer speaks of this land and its
fabled gems back in the 13th century. Lovely cushion, clean and
definitely auspicious.

Sri Lanka: The
Land of Sapphires
Through history, Sri Lanka has been known as the land of gems. This
island nation in South Asia holds a special place in our hearts. It
has been our home for many days through the years, and there we have
acquired from miners and cutters a large stock of unheated sapphires
and various other gems. Our favorite place is Ratnapura, that
translate as the "city of gems". It is located in a beautiful
and luscious valley, in south-central Sri Lanka, at the feet of
Adam's Peak, Sri Pada, a mountain sacred to all four major religions
in Sri Lanka, Buddhism, Hinduism, Muslim and Christianity.
Gemstones mining in Sri Lanka is done in ground pits as well as
river sifting.

takes too long to achieve. beautiful and affordable unheated

unheated sapphire rough was unearthed in Sri Lanka. A very unusual series of circumstances made gemstone mining very difficult

sapphire will surely bring auspicity, happiness to the eye and
easiness to the economy.

I do
not think you will find better prices on unheated sapphires anywhere
else. By purchasing at the mining locations in Sri Lanka, having
dealt for many years with miners known locally for excellence in
fair trade practices and low impact mining, we are able to get
superior, clean & well cut, completely natural sapphires at true
wholesale values. This one is accompanied by a gemstone memo report (small size) by
TGL (Tokyo Gem Laboratory, Thailand) as unheated.

The truth about
"ethical" mining and how it is used by main stream companies as
gimmick for business purposes.
We thank all the people at origin, in
the mining areas, directly or partially involved in this gemstone
business. From miners, mine laborers, land owners, cutters, brokers,
couriers and all the others. We thank them by going every year to
buy at origin, dealing again with them to bring back, unheated
Ceylon sapphires at the fairest prices. We do not believe in
those statements by western companies and all the pumped up, untrue, 5% and 10% donations
to give back to the community..., and furthermore,
in using
the concept of responsible and eco-friendly,
conflict-free sourcing, and blah, blah,
blah, solely & bluntly as a
marketing tool,
while not really doing anything for the people at the top of the
colored gemstone supply chain
- the artisan miners.
