Why Are Ceylon Sapphires Special?

Sri Lanka, historically known as “Rathnadweepa”—meaning “Gem Island” in Sinhalese—boasts a vibrant gem mining and trading history that spans over 2,500 years. This exotic island has long enchanted traders, travelers, and royalty with its abundant natural treasures.

Persian traders once called the island “Serendib”, a name that inspired the English word serendipity, reflecting the joy and good fortune in discovering its magnificent gemstones. From the depths of its ancient earth come sapphires, rubies, spinels, and a kaleidoscope of other precious gems that continue to capture the world’s admiration. Rooted in tradition and revered for its richness, Sri Lanka remains one of the most celebrated sources of high-quality natural gemstones in the world.

The Legacy of Ceylon Sapphires

The name “Ceilão” was first given to Sri Lanka by the Portuguese in 1505, later evolving to “Zeylan” under Dutch rule, and eventually “Ceylon” during British colonization in 1798. Although the country gained independence in 1948, it was officially renamed Sri Lanka in 1972. Despite this, the name Ceylon lives on through the world-renowned sapphires that continue to enchant gem lovers globally.

Ceylon Sapphires, prized for their vivid colors, clarity, and exceptional durability, remain a timeless choice for engagement rings and fine jewellery. These natural treasures reflect the island’s rich gemological heritage and enduring beauty.

In 2003, the blue sapphire was declared the national gemstone of Sri Lanka, celebrating its cultural significance and unmatched allure. The luminosity, brilliance, and radiance of natural Ceylon sapphires will forever hold a special place in the hearts of gem connoisseurs around the world.
