SRI LANKA

Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, has a long history of being treasured by royalty for its gemstones, particularly sapphires. Few know that sapphires come in all the colors of the spectrum.
They are the second hardest gem after diamond, making them perfect for everyday wear. The Sardinia & Alter Ego Collection and Sapphire Engagement Rings are from Sri Lanka.

"I cultivate a profound passion for precious stones and travel.
This love goes beyond exploration; building meaningful connections with small-scale miners and their communities gives my life drive and a deeper personal meaning.

Whether through my collections or bespoke pieces, gemstones are the center of my creations, and of my life in general.

Engagement rings hold a very special place in my heart; they allow me to witness your love for each other and, in a very humble way, be a part of your journey.

I hope my universe will make you dream and travel.
Thank you for being here."
