Today all of Sapphire Ring Co sapphires are from the Island of Sri Lanka ( Ceylon ), here we carry up to date information on the countries mining and sapphire markets.

We will only sell 100% natural sapphires which is outlined on our pages listed About Us. Today as with any valuable product counterfeiting has become a huge industry with both sapphires and rubies, new techniques in extreme heating as well as lattice diffusion-deep diffusion has made determining if a sapphire or ruby is a natural mined stone without being chemically enchased.

This has become extremely difficult to detect even for a experienced gemologist which is why we always highly recommend having a independent laboratory report for a accurate gem stone identification.

Regulation in Sri Lanka on all gem mining

The Sri Lankan Government established the State Gem Corporation in 1971. The main purpose of the corporation was to provide systematic improvement to the Sri Lankan gem industry by helping to improve skills and craftsmanship, increasing gem exports, allocating state-owned land for gem mining, and issuing permits and licenses. With the broadening of these objectives the Corporation has subsequently been restructured and renamed as the National Gem and Jewelry Authority (since 1993). Child labor was considered a major concern by the government and the Mines and Minerals act of 1992 prohibited any person under the age of 18 from participating in gemstone mining. The concern also extends to the gem-cutting sector where children are often trained and hired because of their superior vision. The gem-cutter’s career is often limited by age as vision deteriorates. Retraining older workers to perform other tasks is a concern that deserves further attention.
