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
