Commissioned for the crown of the Sultan of Brunei,. . .
Commissioned for the crown of the Sultan of Brunei, the ruby was chosen as the centerpiece of one of the most extravagant royal creations of the late 20th century. Positioned above all other gemstones, it served as the focal point of a crown adorned with natural pearls, yellow diamonds and exceptional rubies. At the time, the Sultan was widely regarded as the wealthiest individual in the world, making the selection of this ruby for such a prominent role a testament to its exceptional beauty and importance.
When declining oil prices prompted the private sale of the crown in the early 1990s, select gemstones entered the international market. Today, this ruby remains preserved in its original diamond halo setting from the crown itself, offering a direct link to its royal provenance. Set in platinum.
