What Do Jewelers Say About Working With CEYLONS?

BARBARA KLAR

Founder

Clear Metals, Inc

I first saw Ceylons in Tuscon, AZ, and found their sapphires to be beyond beautiful and eye-clear. A very high-end product one doesn't often see: and the COLORS! Plus, the congeniality of the partners was so welcoming! Customer service is their strong side. Usually, ordering long-distance is complicated and frustrating but Peter made it smooth and satisfying when my beautiful matching sapphires were shipped to me!

I met CEYLONS team on my recent trip to Tucson. Their beautiful booth along with their high quality gem selection caught my eye. We quickly engaged in conversation and I immediately felt comfortable, feeling the authenticity of the business. I made several purchases and I look forward to doing business with CEYLONS again in the near future.

AMANDA JOY RUBIN

Founder

We met for the first time at the Idar Oberstein tent at the GJX this past February 2022. The product is beautiful. The guys were clear about origin, treatment or no treatment, advised, priced their gems well and were a pleasure to deal with. Happy to see them and work with them again getting terrific natural sapphires.
