Aamir Khan skips diamonds, gifts Gauri Spratt a rare ruby wedding ring
Aamir Khan chose a natural Madagascar ruby ring for Gauri Spratt for their wedding ceremony.
Aamir Khan ditched diamonds for a regal ruby ring for his wife Gauri Spratt.
The couple got married in an intimate, at-home ceremony in Mumbai on July 5. To mark the new beginning, the actor chose a striking ring that its makers say features a one-in-a-million natural ruby.
Khan turned to QWEENs, a jewellery brand in which he is a strategic investor, for this special piece of jewellery. The team spent three months sourcing the rare precious stone: a Madagascar ruby.
“Sourced from Madagascar, the ruby belongs to an exceptional category of natural stones, with less than 0.1% of rubies achieving this level of quality, making the stone as exceptional as the moment it was chosen to mark,” the team said in a statement.
The large, cabochon-cut natural ruby is enclosed in an intricately carved gold setting with crown-like prongs, giving the piece a vintage-inspired look. The band is further finished with ornate scrollwork and fine beaded detailing, while its high-domed profile gives the ring the look of a vintage signet.
Rubies have long been associated with royalty and have traditionally featured in ceremonial and heirloom jewellery. Their use in wedding rings, however, is less common than diamonds, making the choice distinctive.
