The Sapphire Island Collection is a collaboration with the first Youth Ambassador for Colombo Jewellery Stores, Miss Sri Lanka for Miss World 2021 the young and vibrant, Sade Greenwood.  She brings with her a passion for uplifting society and protecting the environment, similar values upheld by CJS which has been actively contributing to a strong sustainability footprint since inception. 

For the CJS CEO Akram Cassim, this is a milestone that culminates not only a 100-year legacy but also heralds a new era of style. “Sade represents a new generation of jewellery design and the inspiration for the Sapphire Island Collection, which focused entirely on the magical Sri Lankan Blue Sapphire, our Island’s most treasured and historically significant gemstone.”

Sade, who will be an integral facet in promoting the Collection to the youthful customer segment said: “It is my honour, as Youth Ambassador for Colombo Jewellery Stores to launch the Sapphire Island Collection celebrating a Century of Style. CJS and I have similar passions for the betterment of our planet and I look forward to working closely with the brand to promote these causes, not just to better the lives of all but also to shed light on critical environmental issues facing our country.”

The new CJS Store with its highlights of bronze trimmings and interiors in a palette of biscuit and chocolate brown showcases the Collection that has been curated and designed to inspire all jewellery aficionados. The store embellishes the dazzling Sri Lankan Blue Sapphire and other precious gems with its modernity juxtaposed with the look of an era gone by, expressed through the eyes of visionary architect Murad Ismail of MICD Associates, who said: “Drawing inspiration from an establishment with a hundred-year history, I was able to create an ambience that celebrates the commitment to artistry that defines CJS.”

For one hundred years, CJS has curated the finest Sri Lankan gems and crafted the most exquisite jewellery. The history of this iconic homegrown brand is a reflection of the long and illustrious past of the country’s own gem and jewellery industry.
