Experience the pinnacle of luxury with our exclusive pieces unveiled at Sapphire Night by FACETS Sri Lanka 2026. As the dazzling curtain-raiser for the year's first major international gem and jewelry trade show, this prestigious event, orchestrated by the Sri Lanka Gem & Jewellery Association (SLGJA) brought together high fashion and the world’s most coveted treasures.

A glamorous evening dedicated to celebrating Sri Lankan Ceylon sapphires

Debuted exclusively at the prestigious Sapphire Night by FACETS Sri Lanka, this collection honors the crown jewel of the island’s 2,500-year gem heritage: the ultra-rare Padparadscha sapphire. Known as the "king of sapphires," the Padparadscha is a breathtaking, natural marvel defined by a delicate, sunset-like blend of pink and orange.

The Inspiration: Ceylon’s Sacred Sunset

"To hold a true Ceylon Padparadscha is to hold a fragment of the island's soul. This collection is our love letter to that magic."

Derived from the Sanskrit word for the sacred lotus blossom, the Padparadscha is a natural masterpiece defined by an elusive, sunset-like blend of delicate pink and fiery orange. At an event dedicated to celebrating the peerless legacy of Ceylon gemstones, this capsule collection captured the very soul of Sri Lankan luxury.

Looks

  • Midnight Sunset

    This name captures the stark contrast between the deep, velvety black tailoring and the glowing, tiered pink-orange accents peeking out like the last rays of tropical twilight.

  • Ethereal Fire

    This playful, cloud-like peach silhouette perfectly mirrors the soft, volcanic warmth and rare, suspended color fusion found inside an unheated Padparadscha sapphire
