Celebrating Ceylon Gems the Raja Way

Through out the centuries Sri Lanka or ‘RathnaDeepa’ has been known to produce sparkling gemstones, and notable historical figures such as Ptolemy and Marco Polo have mentioned Sri Lankan gemstones in their works. In fact, Marco Polo, in his ‘ The Voyages and Travels of Marco Polo’, notes that Ceylon has the “best sapphires, topazes, amethysts, and other gems”.

Hailing from Sri Lanka- the land known as the Island of Gems- Raja Jewellers (Pvt) Ltd is no stranger to the range of dazzling gemstones found within Sri Lanka. A leading jeweller in the country since 1928, Raja Jewellers has produced numerous attractive jewellery using Sri Lankan gemstones, catering to the needs of generation upon generation of Sri Lankans.

The company has had its fair share of milestones throughout its career. With the advent of the Siyatha Miss Sri Lanka 2017 pageant, Raja Jewellers is once again creating history. Having come forward to provide the crown that will grace the head of the future Siyatha Miss Sri Lanka 2017 winner, Raja Jewellers has designed a dazzling crown set with priceless stones. The company unveiled the spectacular crown at their showroom on 26th Saturday, 2017 amidst a gathering of sparkling personalities.

Now in its 3rd generation management, Raja Jewellers continues to create jewellery that appeals to both traditional and contemporary mindsets with their unique designs, excellent quality, and attention to details.

The company offers several jewellery collections to the customer, from its wedding collection to the necklaces, pendants, bangles, bracelets, rings, and earrings that make up their formal and daily wear collections.

Distinct among its glittering collection of jewellery for their unique beauty is the colour stone jewellery. Making use of sapphires and Ceylon stones, Raja Jewellers have created jewellery that appears to have woven the colours of the rainbow into jewellery that suits any occasion.

The colour stone range contains necklaces, pendants, bracelets, bangles and other uniquely attractive pieces of jewellery that use gold, rose gold, white gold, platinum, 22 carat gold, and other valuable metals in their bases. The sapphire range, which makes use of precious gems contains every shade of sapphire, including blue sapphires, yellow, and green sapphires. The semi precious range contains jewellery inlaid with Ceylon gemstones. The jewellery is designed by the Raja Jewellers’ design team, but the company can accommodate the customers’ own designs as well. This jewellery can add an extra sparkle to your wardrobe, whether you are attending a formal function, a wedding, or simply wearing them in your day to day life. Raja Jewellers (Pvt) Ltd began its journey in 1928 as E. A. Fernando Jewellersfounded by Late Mr E. A. Fernando. The company was re-branded to Raja Jewellers in 1962 by Late Mr Fernando’s son, Mr Raja Fernando, whose sons registered the company as a Limited Liability Company under the name of Raja Jewellers ( Pvt) Ltd in 1985. Since its inception, the company has continued to excel in its craftsmanship, and with a team of about 300 employees who create the exquisite designs that capture the hearts of the customers, remains as a pioneer in the Sri Lankan jewellery industry. In addition to its main showroom in Bambalapitiya, Raja Jewellers now has yet another branch in Negombo, where they are able to further extend their reach.
