This channel will serve as a landing spot for videos and lectures on sapphires, ethical and sustainable sourcing, and other gemstone industry related topics.

Transparency is vital to my business. Because I buy rough stones directly from the miners and process all gems at my lapidary in Sri Lanka, I have visibility into the entire supply chain and am able to guarantee the source and treatment of every stone. Ethical sourcing and giving back to the mining community is a cornerstone of my business. The stability of my business has allowed me to establish a gemstone library and laboratory in Sri Lanka to engage students in the study of ethical sourcing and trade of gemstones.
