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.

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.
