Sri Lanka produces more of the world's precious gem varieties than any other single country. We work across the full spectrum.

Miners washing gem gravel by a river in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka
Provenance

Every stone is washed from the same river gravel our grandfathers knew.

Ratnapura — "City of Gems" in Sinhala — sits on an alluvial gem field the geologists call the South-West Highland Complex. Its rivers have delivered sapphires, rubies, cat's eyes and moonstones for more than two thousand years.

We buy at the mine, cut in Ratnapura, and certify with the world's three most exacting labs. No middlemen, no synthetic detours, no hidden treatments.
