Gems and Jewellery

Sri Lanka, known as the “Island of Gems,” is world-famous for its rich variety of precious and semi-precious stones, including sapphires, rubies, spinels, topaz, and the unique cat’s eye. The city of Ratnapura, meaning “City of Gems,” is the heart of the gem industry, where centuries-old mining traditions continue alongside modern techniques. Sri Lankan jewellery blends exquisite craftsmanship with cultural symbolism, incorporating gemstones into designs that reflect heritage and spirituality. Popular concepts like Nawarathna, or Nine Gems, are believed to bring balance and protection. Tourists can explore gem mines, workshops, and markets, making it a vibrant hub for gem lovers worldwide.
