While Sri Lanka is celebrated around the world for our vast range of gemstones, there is a special historical bond between Sri Lanka and its sapphires. Acclaimed around the world with the unique geographical indication of Ceylon Sapphires, sapphires from Sri Lanka are found in various colors and sizes, with the exception of the color indigo.
Sapphires are some of the most sought after and expensive gems in the world triggered by a global trend of sapphire based engagement rings worn by historical figures like Empress Josephine of France and Late Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. In addition to their ornamental purposes, sapphires are also used in purely functional applications, such as infrared optical components, high-durability windows, wristwatch crystals and movement bearings, and very thin electronic wafers, which are used as the insulating substrates of special-purpose solid-state electronics such as integrated circuits and Gan-based blue LEDs.
