This Natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, presents a rich Purplish Red colour that brings a slightly cooler, velvety note to ruby’s classic red appeal. The mingling of red with a gentle purple undertone can look especially elegant in fine jewellery, giving the stone a distinctive presence without moving away from the enduring charm associated with ruby.
At 1.16 carats, this oval ruby offers a pleasing size for a refined ring, pendant or a custom design with diamond accents. Its minor inclusions are a natural feature commonly encountered in rubies and do not take away from the gemstone’s warm colour identity. The oval shape is versatile and lends itself beautifully to both traditional Indian settings and clean, contemporary bespoke jewellery.
The stone shows indications of thermal enhancement, with heating residue in fissures. Heating is a recognised treatment in the ruby trade, and this disclosure clearly records the gemstone’s reported condition. It is certified by Nine Gems Lab, providing professional documentation for the ruby’s stated weight, colour, treatment observations and other reported characteristics. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe such clarity helps customers select a gemstone with a proper understanding of its individual qualities.
In Vedic tradition, Ruby or Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), regarded as the royal planet in Jyotish. Surya is traditionally connected with self-expression, vitality, leadership, confidence and honour. Ruby has therefore held an important place in Indian gem traditions for generations, especially among those who seek to understand the Sun’s role in their birth chart. A qualified Vedic astrologer can guide the suitability, weight and manner of wearing a Manikya for personal astrological purposes.
