The island of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is nicknamed the ‘Jewel box’ of the Indian Ocean, and has been recognised throughout history for its spectacular abundance and astonishing range of precious gemstones. Likely the oldest gem source in the world, the Ceylon mines have been continuously in use since the stone age.
Derived from the Ancient Greek ‘adamas’ meaning everlasting or unbeatable, diamonds have been prized for their unique physical attributes for millennia. Formed of crystallised carbon, they are the hardest substance on earth. Diamonds have long been a symbol of strength, invincibility and eternal love, which has made them the world’s most desired gemstone.
