The Precious Stone Trade in Sri Lanka's City of Gems

A dealer display rough gemstones at an open gem market in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka, on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2018. Gem prices have been pressured in recent years following an industrywide credit crunch and as younger consumers drifted toward other luxury items such as electronics. While an index of rough-diamond prices has increased in the last few months, it's still more than 40 percent below a peak set in 2011. Photographer: Buddhika Weerasinghe/Bloomberg via Getty Images
