This natural Ruby, or Manikya, presents a Purplish Red colour that brings a slightly cooler, wine-toned nuance to ruby’s celebrated red body colour. This attractive meeting of red and purple can feel rich and regal, recalling crimson petals seen in evening light. At 2.44 carats, it has a pleasing presence for a refined ring or a traditional pendant, while its oval shape lends itself easily to a graceful, balanced jewellery design.
The stone shows notable inclusions, a feature that can occur naturally in rubies and forms part of its individual visual character. Its treatment report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. Heating is a recognised and established practice in the ruby trade, and this disclosure gives a buyer a clear understanding of the gemstone’s reported condition. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe such clarity matters when selecting a natural coloured gemstone for jewellery or personal use.
Ruby has held a distinguished place in Indian jewellery traditions for centuries, admired for its warm red presence and enduring association with royalty and ceremony. This oval Manikya would sit beautifully in a yellow-gold ring with a simple diamond surround, allowing its Purplish Red colour to remain the focus. It could also make a handsome centre stone for a bespoke pendant, especially when paired with clean, understated detailing.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the graha linked with self-expression, leadership, vitality and personal authority. Ruby is therefore worn in Jyotish traditions by those seeking to honour or strengthen the qualities associated with Surya, subject to individual astrological guidance. This natural ruby is certified by Nine Gems Lab, with the accompanying certification recording its identity and reported treatment information.
