Embarking on a sparkling journey to the sapphire mines of Ruwanpura Gems in Sri Lanka was an experience that filled my friends, peers, and even myself with anticipation and a touch of envy. The adventure began with a conversation missed during the pandemic with Fura Gems about visiting their ruby mines in Mozambique. This chat evolved into an exciting invitation from Tracey Ellison while wandering the beautiful streets of Arezzo. Before I knew it, we were planning our trip at the JCK Las Vegas show, leading me to board a plane from Schiphol airport to Colombo, filled with expectations and excitement.
