About this Event
Hosted at the GIA Global Campus' Tasaki Hall, this event is certain to continue the dynamic conversation on the dynamic geopolitical, economic and artistic elements that define our society's relationship to the beautiful stone known as sapphire.
Speaker Bio: Sheahan Stephen, a renowned sapphire merchant, started his journey from gaining hands-on experience in Sri Lanka to becoming a worldwide authority on sapphires 17 years ago. His mission has always been to educate others not just on the stones but on running an ethically responsible and sustainable business. He guarantees the provenance of every gemstone, tracing its origin from mine to market. Despite the challenges of a civil war in Sri Lanka, Sheahan invested time in educating the supply chain on validation to improve lives. His goal is to provide customers with transparently sourced sapphires. He proudly touts having modeled his supply chain after Boeing Corporations’ commitment to redundancy and zero failure.
