About us
Two islands, one passion
We bring natural gemstones from Sri Lanka to Ireland and Europe, with nothing hidden between the mine and you.
Our story
[YOUR FOUNDING STORY HEADLINE]
[Two or three sentences on who founded An Celtic Gems, when, and what connects you to Sri Lanka and to Ireland.]
Sri Lanka, known for centuries as the island of gems, is one of the oldest sapphire sources in the world. We buy at origin and know the people who mine and cut our stones.
What we stand for
Natural stones only
No synthetics, no imitations. Any treatment, such as traditional heating, is stated clearly on every listing.
Independent testing
We do not grade our own stones. Every gem is examined by an independent Sri Lankan laboratory before it is listed.
Fair sourcing
We buy directly at origin in Sri Lanka, so more of the value stays with miners and cutters.
