What Is True Ethical Sourcing?
We believe that ethical sourcing must be measurable, intentional, and rooted in local impact.
Ethical sourcing goes beyond fair wages or simply knowing where a gemstone comes from. At its core, it means ensuring that the value of a gemstone meaningfully benefits the people and the place it originates from.
In the sapphire industry, this is often not the case. Many stones pass through complex middle channels, with limited traceability and little value returning to the source.
At Arumin, we follow a direct-from-source model. By sourcing from our own mines and operating from Sri Lanka, we ensure that the country of origin directly benefits from the true value of its gemstones.
Creating the world’s most beautiful sapphire mines, in form and spirit.
Arumin is on a mission to own some of the world’s most beautiful sapphire mines, in both form and spirit. Our vision of beauty extends beyond the sapphires themselves to the landscapes, communities, and lives connected to them.
We mine in coexistence with nature, designing each site with environmental care, cultural sensitivity, and long-term impact in mind.
From preserving local ecosystems to creating dignified livelihoods, every decision is made with intention.
We believe that true beauty lies not only in what we extract, but in what we build around it.
Traceability
Every Arumin sapphire is fully traceable, down to the country, region, and specific mine of origin. By sourcing exclusively from our own network of mines, we maintain complete visibility and control over every stage of the journey.
This approach ensures not only authenticity, but also accountability, giving our partners and clients full confidence in the provenance of each stone.
Environment
Arumin operates with deep respect for the land. Before any mining begins, we work closely with government authorities to conduct comprehensive environmental assessments and ensure the land is suitable for responsible extraction.
Our commitment doesn’t end there. As operations expand, we invest in land restoration and ecological balance, ensuring that every site is left enriched, not depleted. Sustainability is not a step in our process; it is built into the foundation of how we mine.
