At IK Gems, we specialize in ethically sourced sapphires, handpicked from renowned mines in Ratnapura and Ehaliyagoda in Sri Lanka, as well as select mining regions in Africa. Each sapphire is carefully cut and polished to highlight its natural brilliance, ensuring it becomes the perfect centerpiece for fine jewellery.
Our spinels are ethically mined from rich deposits in Ratnapura and Ehaliyagoda, Sri Lanka, and from Mahenge, Tanzania, known for producing vibrant, high-quality stones. We pride ourselves on delivering spinels that are responsibly sourced and expertly refined to meet the demands of both designers and collectors.
We source rare and exquisite alexandrite from trusted mines in Sri Lanka, ensuring authenticity and traceability. With its remarkable color-changing properties, each piece is handled with precision—from ethical extraction to its final polished form—making it a prized gem for unique jewellery creations.
Our rubies come from ethically operated mines in Sri Lanka and the legendary ruby fields of Burma (Myanmar). Known for their deep red hue and lasting value, IK Gems rubies are responsibly sourced, skillfully cut, and carefully selected for high-end jewellery manufacturing.
At IK Gems, the transformation of raw, unrecognized stones into world-class gemstones is both an art and a science. Each rough gem we acquire undergoes a meticulous process, beginning with expert evaluation and precision cutting to unlock its fullest potential. Our skilled craftsmen use advanced techniques and years of experience to enhance the gem’s natural beauty—maximizing brilliance, clarity, and color. Through careful polishing and attention to every facet, we breathe life into each stone, elevating it from its raw form into a stunning centerpiece ready for fine jewellery. This commitment to excellence ensures that every gem we offer meets the highest international standards of quality and elegance.
