Certified natural gemstones from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, once known as Ceylon, has been the world's trusted source of fine gemstones for over two thousand years. Kandy Gem Centre sells natural blue sapphires, rubies, padparadscha, alexandrites, cat's eye chrysoberyl, spinels and other Ceylon stones, each described honestly with its carat weight, colour, clarity, origin and treatment status.

How we source and certify our stones

We buy directly from miners and cutters in Ratnapura and Elahera, so every stone has a known origin. Many of our certified gemstones are supported by independent laboratory reports, and we say plainly when a stone is heated or untreated. Looking for a stone for a particular month? See our birthstones, or ask about gems chosen as an investment.
