The description of the ring is as follows, ''that a cabochon-cut natural ruby polished into a smooth, domed surface rather than faceted. And it's held by a scalloped gold gallery that peaks into points around the stone, echoing the shape of an actual crown, then drops into a band of fine milgrain beading, the
kind of hand-finished detailing that historically marked coronation and heirloom jewellery,'' reads the press release.
Sharing details on the ring, co-founder and CEO of Qween, Amit Kumar, told Hindustan Times that the ruby is rarer than one in a million.

“It took more than three months to source the ruby, taking 256 hours by karigars and 131 pairs of skilled hands. This is a Madagascar ruby, which is rarer than one in a million. The wedding ring is designed to look, quite literally, like royalty,” Kumar said.
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.
Notably, this is not the first stone ring that Aamir has bought for his now-wife. Earlier, she was spotted wearing an aquamarine ring, and the stone was from Brazil.

She added more elegance to her look with a beautiful braid, adorned with flowers. Meanwhile, Khan opted for an anarkali kurta with a dhoti. He accessorised his look with a silver anklet.
