These gems are not the product of a corporation stripping the land.
They come from a family that has worked the hills of Ratnapura for generations.
We eat at their table.
We meet their families.
We listen to their stories.
No middlemen. No guesswork.
We visit the mines ourselves.
We see how the work is done.
We see who carries the stones.
We watch how they are treated.
We are there — from the moment the stone leaves the earth.

At House Ceylon, we believe a gemstone is more than an ornament.
It’s a marker of memory. A symbol of something beginning.
A promise, passed from hand to hand.
We are a fine gemstone atelier based in Ratnapura, the gem capital of Sri Lanka—known for its rivers that have carried sapphires for centuries. Every stone we select holds a quiet brilliance and a story waiting to be told.
The name Ratnapura means "City of Gems."
Here, tradition runs deep. Families have mined and cut sapphires for generations, not for mass, but for meaning.
We work hand-in-hand with local artisans, honoring the heritage of Ceylon craftsmanship.
Each stone is shaped not just by earth and water, but by human care and history.
Beauty means little without responsibility.
That’s why every House Ceylon sapphire is ethically sourced.
No shortcuts. No compromises.
We work only with trusted, transparent partners who share our respect for the land and the people who live by it.
When you wear a House Ceylon piece, you carry something real—ethically mined, carefully chosen, and thoughtfully set.
Whether it’s a gift, a milestone, or a keepsake for yourself—your stone should feel like it was always meant to find you.
Let us help you discover it.
