An extraordinary example of royal provenance and natural perfection, this exceptional ruby weighs 7.75 carats and displays the perfect pigeon’s blood hue—the most sought-after and elusive color in the ruby world. Intensely saturated with a vivid, luminous red, the gemstone exhibits remarkable transparency and an inner radiance that places it among the finest rubies known. Its exceptional quality is further distinguished by its origin as a crown jewel, chosen for one of the most lavish royal commissions of the late 20th century.
Commissioned during the reign of the Sultan of Brunei, this ruby was selected as the centerpiece of his crown, positioned at its focal point above all other gemstones. The crown itself was a masterpiece of opulence, set with monumental natural pearls, vivid yellow diamonds and the world’s most desirable rubies. During this period, the Sultan of Brunei was widely regarded as the wealthiest individual in the world, presiding over a court defined by extraordinary luxury and spectacle. The selection of this ruby as the focal point underscores its exceptional beauty and importance among the world’s most prized gemstones.
Following the fall in oil prices in the early 1990s, the crown was sold privately, and select gemstones from its construction entered the international market. This example is preserved in its original diamond halo setting from the crown itself, maintaining a direct and tangible connection to its royal origin. Set in platinum.
