Royal Araina Collection: Gemstones that you "fall in love" with

Named after his daughter, the "Royal Araina Collection" is a hand-picked selection of exceptional, noteworthy gemstones by Harshil Zaveri, the founder of StarRuby.in ®.

Why choose one gemstone rather than another?

That is where Harshil comes into his own, revealing that his sensibility extends far beyond simple expertise.

In addition to applying the gemological selection criteria, he seeks out stones that speak to him: those that evoke an idea, bring out an emotion, recall a memory, or tell a story.

Every gemstone in the "Royal Araina Collection" is a rare, timeless treasure highly sought-after by discerning collectors and gem connoisseurs.

Treasures of the Earth

"Treasures of the Earth" is a collection of noteworthy gemstones hand-picked by our team of gemstone experts. Every gemstone in this collection will captivate you with its intrinsic beauty and spectacular flair.

Few gemstones possess the quiet confidence of an exceptional Ceylon yellow sapphire, and fewer still display it with such effortless presence. The first impression is its captivating canary yellow hue—rich, luminous, and beautifully saturated—radiating a vibrancy that immediately commands attention without ever appearing overpowering.

Equally compelling is its transparency and near loupe-clean clarity. At 8.06 carats, achieving this degree of purity in a completely natural, unheated sapphire is an uncommon distinction, allowing light to travel effortlessly through the crystal and reveal an extraordinary level of brilliance. Every precisely aligned step of the masterfully executed emerald cut contributes to a lively display of sparkle, fire, and refined elegance, while its crisp proportions lend the gemstone a timeless architectural beauty.

Sri Lankan sapphires have long been admired for their vivid colour and crystal quality, and this example stands among the finest expressions of that heritage. It is a gemstone chosen not merely for its impressive specifications, but for the rare harmony between colour, clarity, cutting, and natural character—a combination that discerning collectors seldom encounter and rarely forget.
