Origins & Heritage

Our story begins in Ratnapura, ‘The City of Gems’ where sapphires have been sought for over two millennia. For our family, gem mining is not just a livelihood but a legacy, passed down through generations.

As eighth-generation custodians, we honor the knowledge of those before us while embracing modern gemology. Every stone we offer carries the imprint of our family’s commitment to integrity, precision, and beauty.

We mine and curate stones from our own lands, ensuring authenticity and ethical sourcing.

Every sapphire we present is natural, with a preference for unheated gems, the rarest expression of Ceylon’s geological gift.

Teja Gems is more than a collection of stones, it is our family’s promise to share Sri Lanka’s finest sapphires with the world, while preserving the land and knowledge for future generations.
