Gem Exporters in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is the world’s source for fine sapphire — and we export it, certified, worldwide.
Sri Lanka has been the world’s most celebrated source of sapphires for over two thousand years. From the gem gravels of Ratnapura and Elahera come the cornflower-blue, padparadscha, yellow and pink sapphires that fill the world’s finest jewellery houses. As a Sri Lankan gem export company, Abeywardhane Gems connects that source directly to international buyers, jewellers and collectors.
We handle the full export journey — selecting and certifying stones, preparing documentation, and shipping securely and insured to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. Buying from a Sri Lankan exporter directly means better stones, honest provenance, and pricing that isn’t inflated by layers of intermediaries.

Why Sri Lanka is the world’s gem-export hub
Known historically as Ratna-Dweepa, the “Island of Gems,” Sri Lanka produces an unusually wide range of fine gemstones in a small area — and a high proportion of untreated material. Sapphire in every colour, ruby, spinel, garnet, cat’s-eye chrysoberyl and more are all mined here, giving Sri Lankan exporters access to depth and variety few origins can match.
For international buyers, “Ceylon origin” is itself a mark of quality and desirability, frequently reflected in a stone’s value and in laboratory reports.
What we export
Our export range spans investment-grade single stones, certified gems for fine jewellery, calibrated commercial parcels and bespoke sourcing to a buyer’s brief. Ceylon blue, yellow, pink, white and padparadscha sapphires and Ceylon ruby form the core of our supply.
Buying direct from a Sri Lankan exporter
Working directly with verified mining and cutting partners, we control quality and provenance from rough to finished gem. That means traceable, conflict-free origin, treatment disclosure on every stone, and independent certification on request — the documentation serious buyers and trade partners require.
