Remembering the Queen and her love for gemstones
View(s):Sri Lanka’s gem and jewellery trade this week said it was proud that the late Majesty the Queen fondly wore gems and jewellery sourced and crafted in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Gem and Jewellery Association (SLGJA) said it was honoured to have served her Majesty and the Royal family over many decades.
Sri Lankan gems have been a firm favourite amongst the Royal family, with the Queen choosing to wear the “Trumpet Brooch” on many an occasion. The “Trumpet Brooch” was gifted to Queen Elizabeth II by the Mayor of Colombo during her visit in 1981. The brooch encapsulates all that is Sri Lankan gems, with a variety of precious and semi-precious stones that are vibrant and facetted to precision. The “Trumpet Brooch” resembles a bouquet of flowers and was worn by her Majesty on many occasions during her tours around the world. Her Majesty’s fondness for Sri Lankan gems is shared by the Royal family too, with Princess Diana choosing the famous Ceylon Sapphire as her engagement Ring to the then Prince Charles, the association said in a statement.
It shared its grief and expressed deepest condolences on the death of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
