Our Sri Lanka collection features natural gemstones of Sri Lankan (Ceylon) origin, as stated on each listing. The island is famous for blue and yellow sapphire, padparadscha, moonstone, spinel, garnet and chrysoberyl cat’s eye.
How to choose a Ceylon gemstone
- Expect brighter tones: Ceylon sapphires are often lighter and lively rather than very dark.
- Compare yellow sapphires: many pukhraj buyers look to Sri Lanka first.
- Check the cat’s eye line: look for a sharp, centred eye that opens and closes as the light moves.
- Keep the report with the stone: origin on a lab report adds confidence for major gems.
- Consider moonstone too: Sri Lanka is a classic source of moonstone with a soft blue sheen.
