Zeylan Gems
We take our name from the country’s colonial past, Dutch name Zeylan, later the British called it as Ceylon.
Sri Lanka’s gem industry has a very long and colorful history. Sri Lanka was affectionately known as Ratna-Dweepa which means Gem Island.
Marco Polo wrote that the island had the best sapphires, topazes, amethysts, and other gems in the world. Ptolemy the 2nd century astronomer recorded that beryl and sapphire were the mainstay of Sri Lanka’s gem industry.
