About us
The Birth of Zaffiro Gems:
A Passion for Sapphires
Zaffiro Gems was inspired by a deep-seated admiration for the timeless beauty and mystique of sapphires. Our journey began in Ratnapura, the heart of Sri Lanka’s gemstone industry, where the world’s finest sapphires are unearthed. Enchanted by the inherent elegance and unique character of these precious stones, we dedicated ourselves to creating a brand that specializes exclusively in sapphires. Our passion drives us to offer gemstones that are not only exquisite but also authentically true to their origins.
Why Zaffiro Gems?
Choosing Zaffiro Gems means choosing authenticity, expertise, and a seamless experience. We are dedicated to making your search for the perfect sapphire as effortless as possible while educating you on the critical differences between natural, untreated sapphires and those that have been artificially enhanced. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge so that you can make an informed decision that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
The Art of Precision
The brilliance of a gemstone is revealed through the precision of its cut. At Zaffiro Gems, we understand that a well-executed cut is key to maximizing a sapphire’s colour, clarity, and carat weight. Our team of skilled artisans ensures that every sapphire is perfectly proportioned and symmetrical, resulting in a gemstone that exudes elegance from every angle. Whether you seek a classic shape or something more unique, our collection offers the finest cuts in a variety of sizes.
Certified Excellence
Every sapphire we offer comes with a comprehensive identification report, meticulously prepared by our expert gemmologists. These reports are not mere formalities; they are professional certifications that adhere to the highest industry standards and are recognized by leading insurance companies worldwide. We also acknowledge certifications from esteemed independent laboratories, including the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Gubelin Lab (Switzerland), the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA), and the Swiss Gemmological Institute (SSEF)—all members of the Laboratory Manual Harmonization Committee (LMHC).
From Mine to Market: Ethical Sourcing
At Zaffiro Gems, we are committed to responsible sourcing. We source our gemstones directly from our own mines and work closely with small-scale miners who share our values, ensuring that the extraction process has minimal environmental impact. By purchasing directly from these miners and from our own operations, we not only secure the finest sapphires but also support sustainable practices and contribute to the well-being of local communities.
