This natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, shows a Purplish Red colour that brings a distinctive, slightly cooler nuance to the classic warmth associated with ruby. The red body colour remains the heart of its appeal, while the purple modifier lends it a richer, more individual personality, rather like crimson flower petals seen in soft evening light. At 1.44 carats, it is a pleasing size for a refined ring or a personal pendant with meaningful colour at its centre.
The pear shape gives this ruby an elegant outline, with a gently rounded end flowing into a graceful point. It can look especially beautiful in a bespoke ring with the point facing towards or away from the hand, depending on the desired style, or as the centre of a delicate pendant. Minor inclusions are reported, which may be seen in natural rubies and form part of the stone’s individual internal character.
The report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is a clearly disclosed treatment detail and should be appreciated as part of the gemstone’s documented identity. Its Purplish Red colour and natural ruby character can therefore be enjoyed with a proper understanding of the laboratory findings. The gemstone is certified by Nine Gems Lab, providing professional documentation for the stated identification and treatment observations.
In Vedic gem tradition, ruby is associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with confidence, vitality, leadership and self-expression. Manikya has long held an important place in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, traditionally worn by those seeking to honour this planetary influence in their lives. Whether chosen for its cultural significance or its elegant colour, this natural ruby from Nine Gems, Bengaluru, would make a personal and expressive addition to fine jewellery.
