Heritage & Origins

The Island of Gems Sri Lanka's Story

Sri Lanka has a long and remarkable history in the gemstone industry, dating back more than 2,500 years. In ancient times, the island was known as "Rathna Deepa", meaning the Island of Gems, because of its abundance of precious stones.

Historical records mention that traders from Arabia, India, China, and Europe visited Sri Lanka to buy its famous gemstones. The city of Ratnapura, whose name means "City of Gems," has been the heart of Sri Lanka's gem mining industry for centuries. Traditional mining methods are still used in many areas, where miners carefully dig pits to reach gem-bearing gravel layers deep underground.

Over generations, the knowledge of gem mining, cutting, and polishing has been passed down among Sri Lankan craftsmen, helping the country become one of the world's most respected sources of natural gemstones. Sri Lanka produces more than 70 varieties of gemstones, including some of the finest sapphires in the world.
