Our Heritage
A family sapphire house in Sri Lanka
For three generations, the Rohan family has sourced and traded the sapphires of Sri Lanka's gem capital, dealing directly and fairly with the island's miners and cutters.
We follow each stone from source to the grading table, and know the hands it passes through.
Questions
Good to know
What collectors most often ask: origin, treatment, and how a private purchase works.
Yes. Every Rohan sapphire is a natural Ceylon stone, and we specialise in unheated material. On the rare occasion a stone has been heated, we say so plainly.
Sustainability
Responsibly sourced, traded fairly
Ceylon's sapphires are won by hand, without heavy machinery. We buy directly from the island's small-scale miners and cutters, and deal with them fairly.
- Worked by hand
- Direct from source
- Fair dealing
