Precision Lapidaries and Natural Sapphires Ceylon in partnership with Fine Jewellery Company (FJC) launched its newest jewellery line, ‘Natural Sapphire Blue’ to its 
Sri Lankan and international customers recently.

The romantic collection of Royal Blue Ceylon Sapphire Jewellery unveiled at the launch was a true canvas of lustre, sparkle and glamour. The exquisite necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings are delicate and ethereal, with a touch of the esoteric, inspired by the romanticism of the 1930s where evenings were bedecked with allure, charm and a touch of the opulent. This collection adds elements of old Ceylon to vignettes of the contemporary. 

FJC Creative Director Nabeel Salie said that the collection draws inspiration from the legacy of his great grandfather M.U.M. Salie, who over a century ago crossed oceans to bring mysteries of the Orient to the USA. Prinice Salie’s donation in 1933 of 55 gemstones stands proudly alongside the iconic gem collection of Charles Lewis Tiffany at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. 

Chairman Faiq Rehan Salie said that they want to make these high-quality stones accessible to Sri Lankans. 

“We have been in the business of sourcing, cutting and producing some of the finest gemstones the world has ever seen. Our uniqueness is that we control every process from sourcing of the finest quality royal blue sapphires to crafting meticulous fine jewellery while maintaining the highest quality standards, all under one roof, at our state-of-the-art facility in Colombo,” he added. 

The combination of uncompromising quality, which explicitly presents the world’s best royal blue Ceylon sapphires, is sourced, tested, designed and crafted with unparalleled skill within a state-of-the-art lapidary and jewellery manufacturing factory showcased at the flagship boutique in Colombo.
