    A Sapphire Journey: Precision Meets Purpose at Wijaya Gems

    At Wijaya Gems, we believe a gemstone holds more than beauty—it carries purpose, intention, and a story. Recently, we had the privilege of helping a client complete a story that reflected our core values: precision, trust, and dedicated service.

    A client arrived at our showroom after days of searching across Colombo. His request was precise: ten pieces of 3mm unheated blue sapphires, perfectly calibrated for a platinum engagement ring he was crafting. Understanding the rarity and urgency of the requirement, our team immediately set to work.

    Thanks to our trusted network and years of sourcing expertise, we were able to deliver the exact stones within just two days. The client’s relief and satisfaction were evident. But what made the experience truly special was his return visit—ten days later—to show us the completed ring.

    Crafted in platinum and studded with our sapphires and diamonds, the piece was both elegant and meaningful. It reminded us that exceptional jewelry starts not only with vision, but with the right materials and a reliable partner.

    At Wijaya Gems, we don’t just offer gemstones—we provide assurance, care, and tailored solutions for every unique request.

    Explore our curated selection of heated and unheated sapphires, available in calibrated sizes, custom cuts, and all quantities.

  • Ceylon Rubies and the Beauty of Ethically Sourced Gemstones

    Ceylon Rubies and the Beauty of Ethically Sourced Gemstones

    Looking for sustainably sourced rubies? We can help you out — @Wijaya Gems and christina.jewellery is proud to offer ethically mined Ceylon rubies and custom-made jewellery that tells a meaningful story.


    Why Ceylon Rubies?

    Sri Lanka, once known as Ceylon, is world-renowned for its rich gem deposits and ethical small-scale mining practices. While Sri Lanka is best known for its sapphires, its rubies are rare, radiant, and responsibly sourced.

    Key features of Ceylon rubies:

    • 🌿 Sustainably mined: Extracted through artisanal methods that protect both the environment and local communities.

    • 💎 Natural and minimally treated: Most Ceylon rubies are untreated, showcasing their genuine beauty.

    • ❤️ Vibrant color range: From delicate pinkish-red to deep crimson, each stone has a unique personality.


    Ceylon Rubies vs. Other Rubies

    Origin Color & Quality Ethical Consideration
    Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Pink-red hues, natural, untreated or lightly treated Low risk – traditional small-scale mining
    Myanmar (Burma) Deep red “pigeon blood” rubies, highly valued High risk – often linked to conflict zones
    Mozambique Bright color, increasing popularity Moderate – varies by mine & regulation
    Thailand Affordable, but heavily treated Mixed – some sources less transparent

    Why Ethical Rubies Matter

    Choosing a ruby is more than just picking a color — it’s about values.

    At @Wijaya Gems and christina.jewellery, we ensure that every gemstone is:

    • Responsibly sourced

    • Environmentally mindful

    • Supportive of fair wages and safe working conditions

    Every piece of jewellery we create reflects our commitment to conscious luxury — beauty with a purpose.
