At the Kunming International Stone Expo 2025, Abeywardhane Gems is honored to showcase the
magnificence of the Ruby, one of the world’s most celebrated and valuable gemstones.
Belonging to the distinguished Corundum mineral family, Rubies derive their captivating red color from
the presence of chromium. This natural trace element creates a spectrum of hues, ranging from warm
orange-red to deep purplish-red. Among these, the most coveted are the vivid, vibrant reds with just a
hint of purple, admired for their rarity and brilliance.
Throughout history, Rubies have symbolized passion, vitality, and protection, making them a gemstone of both luxury and legend. In fine jewelry, their unmatched fire and durability continue to place them at the pinnacle of desirability. For collectors and jewelers alike, the key factors influencing a ruby’s value are its color saturation, clarity, and overall purity — qualities that are abundantly found in Sri Lanka’s natural treasures.
As part of our international showcase, we bring to Kunming the finest Rubies from Ratnapura, Sri Lanka — the “City of Gems.” Each piece reflects not only the natural brilliance of this remarkable stone but also the skilled craftsmanship and heritage of Sri Lanka’s centuries-old gem trade. With this exhibition, we proudly present our legacy to the global stage, connecting the timeless beauty of Rubies with a worldwide audience.
