Dr Gamini Zoysa Attends FACETS Convention, Sri Lanka

Staying Current with Ceylon Sapphire Expertise

This year, our very own respected gemologist Dr Gamini Zoysa attended the internationally recognised FACETS Convention in Sri Lanka, reinforcing his commitment to staying informed on the latest developments in Sri Lankan gemology. As the island continues to be the historic source of the world-renowned Ceylon sapphire, attending such events is essential for maintaining a current and well-rounded understanding of the gemstone industry.

Staying Connected to Sri Lanka’s Gemological Heritage

The FACETS Convention is one of the most important gatherings in the global gem and jewellery calendar, bringing together miners, traders, laboratories and industry experts from across Sri Lanka and beyond. By attending the convention, Dr Zoysa had the opportunity to observe emerging trends, listen to expert discussions, and remain up to date with changes affecting the sourcing, grading and treatment of gemstones.

With Sri Lanka’s long-standing reputation for producing exceptional Ceylon sapphire, the convention provided valuable insight into current market conditions, ethical sourcing practices, and advances in gemological testing. Attendance at such events ensures continued awareness of how the local industry is evolving while preserving the traditions that have made Sri Lankan gemstones so highly sought after.

Why This Matters for Sapphire Buyers

For collectors and buyers, particularly those seeking loose sapphires, staying connected to the source is crucial. Dr Zoysa’s presence at the FACETS Convention supports informed decision-making and reinforces the importance of provenance and transparency when selecting gemstones.

Being up to date with Sri Lankan gemology helps ensure that:

  • Ceylon sapphires are accurately represented and responsibly sourced
  • Buyers can make confident choices when investing in loose sapphires
  • Industry knowledge reflects current standards and best practices
