Our story

Bringing the world to the source of the sapphire.

Sapphire Trails is Sri Lanka's first professional gem-tour brand, born in Ratnapura, the city of gems. We open the doors of a working mine, a real gem market, and a master jeweller's bench to travellers from around the world.

Where we stand

Rooted in Ratnapura

Ratnapura means "city of gems", and for good reason. The finest Ceylon sapphires in the world have come from this valley for centuries. We were founded here to share that heritage honestly, at the source, with hospitality from Grand Silver Ray and its 26+ years of experience.

We are proud to be Sri Lanka's first professional gem tours: a real descent, a real market, real stones, and an expert who tells you the truth about every one.

What we stand for
