At Nisa Jewellery Store, we source all our gemstones from Sri Lanka and ethically sourced Diamonds from South Africa. Sri Lanka, known as the “Island of Gems,” is renowned for its abundant and diverse gem deposits, making it a treasure trove of natural brilliance. Let us introduce you to some of the captivating gemstones found in this enchanting land, which we hand-select and meticulously incorporate into our exclusive designs:
Found abundantly in Sri Lanka’s rich gem mines, Ceylon Sapphires have a legendary history that spans over 2,500 years. The island’s soil and climate create the perfect environment for producing these exquisite gemstones, renowned for their stunning blue hues. The world’s most famous sapphire, the “Star of India,” was mined in Sri Lanka. Ceylon Sapphires are cherished for their exceptional clarity, brilliance, and color consistency, making them ideal for our luxurious jewellery pieces.
Rich in fiery passion, Sri Lankan rubies are sourced from gem mines nestled in the island’s lush terrains. Historically celebrated for their vibrant red hues, Sri Lanka’s rubies were revered by ancient royals and have adorned royal regalia for centuries. These rubies possess a unique fluorescence that intensifies their color, captivating the hearts of those who seek gemstones that embody strength and eternal allure.
In the heart of Sri Lanka’s gem-rich soil lie the captivating amethysts, known for their regal purple hues. Symbolizing royalty and spirituality, these gemstones have been cherished since ancient times. Sri Lankan amethysts display a captivating range of colors, from delicate lilacs to deep violets, and are highly prized for their transparency and brilliance, making them perfect centerpieces for our elegant jewellery creations.
Sri Lanka’s gem mines yield a bountiful collection of garnets, each reflecting the diverse landscapes and natural wonders of the island. Almandine garnets, with their deep red tones, are abundantly found, while rare green tsavorite garnets exude an earthy allure. Garnets have been adored for centuries for their durability and brilliance, symbolizing love, passion, and a deep connection to nature.
Embracing the timeless allure of diamonds is at the heart of our craftsmanship. These eternal gems symbolize enduring love and unyielding brilliance, elevating our jewellery designs to unparalleled elegance.
We firmly believe in supporting measures that promote the integrity and legitimacy of the diamond trade. As part of our pledge to uphold the highest standards, we proudly adhere to and support the Kimberley Process.
The Kimberley Process is an international initiative that aims to prevent the trade of conflict diamonds, also known as “blood diamonds,” which have been used to finance conflicts and human rights abuses in certain regions. Through this process, diamonds are tracked from their point of origin, the mine, to the final destination, the market. This meticulous tracking system ensures that diamonds are sourced from legitimate and ethical channels, contributing to peace and stability in diamond-producing regions.
To uphold our promise of providing you with only conflict-free diamonds, we have established strong partnerships with the most respected suppliers in the industry. Like us, our suppliers diligently adhere to the standards set by the Kimberley Process. Each diamond we acquire is warranted to be conflict-free, giving you the assurance that the diamonds in our jewellery pieces are ethically sourced.
At Nisa Jewellery Store, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any violations of the Kimberley Process. If, by any chance, one of our suppliers is found to be in breach of the Kimberley Process, we take immediate action to sever that relationship. Our commitment to sourcing ethically and responsibly is unwavering, and we will continue to support and promote any process that works towards upholding legitimacy in the diamond trade.
We recognize that diamonds play a vital role in supporting the livelihoods of many communities, particularly in African nations, where diamond mining provides employment opportunities and access to healthcare for thousands. By advocating for conflict-free diamonds, we contribute to the responsible growth of the diamond industry and its positive impact on the communities involved.
As you adorn yourself with the brilliance of our jewellery pieces, you can take pride in knowing that each diamond is sourced with the utmost integrity. Our unwavering dedication to ethical practices aligns with your values, allowing you to embrace the allure of diamonds without hesitation. At Nisa Jewellery Store we strive to create a world where elegance and conscience unite, enabling you to cherish your precious adornments with joy and confidence.
