The Gem Island Heritage

Sri Lanka, known in antiquity as "Ratnadvipa" — the Island of Gems — has been a source of precious stones for over two millennia. The famous 563-carat "Star of India" sapphire and the 400-carat "Blue Belle of Asia" both originated from Sri Lankan mines.

The island's unique geology, with its ancient metamorphic rocks, has produced some of the world's finest sapphires, rubies, and other gemstones. The Ratnapura district — literally "City of Gems" — remains the heart of Sri Lanka's gem industry, where traditional mining methods still uncover treasures today.

At NOAJ Incorporated, we work directly with licensed miners and cutters to ensure ethical sourcing and fair trade practices. Every gemstone we offer is accompanied by certification from recognized gemological laboratories.
