For centuries, Sri Lanka has been known by the name Rathna Dweepa—the Gem Island. Marco Polo himself noted that the island had the best sapphires, topazes, amethysts, and other gems in the world.
This video uncovers the secrets behind this incredible legacy, tracing the journey of a gem from the earth to a dazzling piece of jewelry:
The Geology of Gems: Discover how 90\% of Sri Lanka is built on pre-Cambrian rock, an ancient foundation that acts as a natural pressure cooker for creating over 75 distinct gemstone varieties. The Corundum family (Sapphires and Rubies) is the undeniable star.
The Artisan's Touch: Meet the 20,000 master gem cutters (lapidaries) whose world-renowned skill in cutting and polishing relies on a unique blend of centuries-old hereditary techniques and modern CAD/CAM technology. This precision is why global luxury houses like Rolex, Cartier, and Tiffany & Co. rely on Sri Lankan gems.
Ethical Sourcing and Culture: Learn how Sri Lanka is a signatory of the Kimberley Process, ensuring its gems are ethically sourced and not "conflict diamonds." Finally, see how jewelry in Sri Lanka is more than just luxury—it's an essential part of a bride's trousseau and a family's first investment for their daughters, a symbol of love, security, and heritage.
The Future of the Treasure: Geologists estimate that 80\% of the island's gem-bearing land has yet to be explored.
Sri Lanka is consistently named one of the top 5 most important gem-producing nations on Earth.
