Gauri Spratt and Aamir Khan
Ahead of its official launch this May, the luxury jewellery label QWEEN has already found its first customer in Aamir Khan. The actor-filmmaker recently commissioned two bespoke rings for Gauri Spratt, custom-crafted by the brand and backed by leading global diamantaires.
Aamir Khan has also come on board as a strategic investor, making this both a personal gesture and a reflection of his belief in the label. While celebrities often invest in brands or lend their names to them, it is far rarer for that investment to translate into personally purchasing from the brand for an intimate moment, signalling Aamir's genuine faith in its creations.
When Gauri Spratt was recently spotted wearing a striking aquamarine ring, the luminous ocean-blue gemstone immediately drew attention for its unusual colour and distinctive design. The piece, it turns out, was privately commissioned by Aamir Khan.
Instead of choosing a single ring to mark the moment, Aamir opted to create two separate rings, a gesture reflecting the belief that a single emotion rarely defines love. Rather than capturing a relationship in one symbol, the two rings express the balance of energies that coexist within every bond. They feature an aquamarine and a ruby, gemstones chosen not only for their beauty but also for their rarity and symbolism.
At the centre of the aquamarine ring sits a luminous blue gemstone prized for its exceptional quality and rarity. Aquamarines of this size and purity represent less than 0.3% of stones discovered globally. Sourced from Brazil, the gem is set in gold and encircled by 40 natural diamonds forming a radiant halo. The piece came to life through more than 363 hours of craftsmanship, with 131 master artisans contributing to its creation.
The second ring features a natural ruby sourced from Madagascar, a region known for producing some of the world's most sought-after rubies, celebrated for their depth of colour and intensity. Less than 0.1 percent of rubies achieve this level of quality. The stone is secured in a prong setting and required over 812 hours of craftsmanship to complete. Together, the gemstones express a powerful duality: the ruby symbolises passion and enduring devotion, while the aquamarine reflects clarity and emotional depth - fire and water, two energies that often coexist within every relationship.
