Their extraordinary quality earned them a place in one of the most lavish royal commissions of the 20th century. When the Sultan of Brunei commissioned his magnificent crown, these rubies were selected to adorn it among a collection of the world's most exceptional gemstones. During this period, the Sultan was widely regarded as the wealthiest person in the world, presiding over a court synonymous with unparalleled luxury. Set with monumental natural pearls, vivid yellow diamonds and rare pigeon’s blood rubies, the crown represented the height of royal splendor.
When the crown was later sold, select gemstones from its construction entered the market. These earrings preserve the original diamond halos that once framed the rubies within the crown, totaling 2.50 carats. As a result, they retain a direct and tangible connection to one of the most extraordinary royal treasures of modern times.
