In addition to their ornamental purposes, sapphires are also used in purely functional applications, such as infrared optical components, high-durability windows, wristwatch crystals and movement bearings, and very thin electronic wafers, which are used as the insulating substrates of special-purpose solid-state electronics such as integrated circuits and GaN-based blue LEDs. Sapphires are some of the most sought after and expensive gems in the world triggered by a global trend of sapphire based engagement rings worn by historical figures like Empress Josephine of France and Late Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. Not only Sri Lanka is the most productive source of sapphires to the world, but we also boast of some of the oldest mines in the world, reaching as far as the Second Century AD and international trade of Ceylon Sapphires have been recorded as far as the 4th and 5th century AD. Today, Sri Lanka is one of the largest sources of sapphire to the global market with over 300 mid-scale gemstone suppliers and lapidaries serving the growing demand for Sri Lankan gemstones. Acclaimed around the world with the unique geographical indication of Ceylon Sapphires, sapphires from Sri Lanka are found in various colours and sizes, with the exception of the colour indigo. While Sri Lanka is celebrated around the world for our vast range of gemstones, there is a special historical bond between Sri Lanka and its sapphires. Sri Lanka the Sapphire Capital of the World
