This Natural Ruby (Manikya) presents a rich purplish red colour, a graceful variation within the classic red family that gives the gem a slightly deeper, more nuanced appearance. Ruby has long been admired as one of the great precious gemstones, and its red bodycolour carries a warmth that suits both traditional Indian jewellery and refined contemporary designs. At 1.9 carats, this oval ruby has a presence that can be appreciated without overpowering a carefully balanced setting.
Its most important feature is the report of no indications of thermal enhancement. This is especially valued in ruby, as buyers often appreciate a stone whose recorded colour and natural character have not been thermally enhanced. The notable inclusions are part of the gem’s natural appearance; inclusions are commonly encountered in natural rubies and should be viewed as an honest feature of this individual stone rather than hidden behind exaggerated claims.
Certified by Nine Gems Lab, this ruby is accompanied by professional documentation recording its identity, purplish red colour and reported no-heat status. The oval shape lends itself beautifully to a classic ring, especially in a warm yellow-gold mount that complements ruby’s red tones, or to a custom pendant with a restrained diamond surround. Its colour would also sit elegantly in a traditional Manikya design with a distinctly Indian character.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with confidence, authority, vitality and self-expression. Ruby has an important place in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, and is traditionally worn by those seeking to honour the qualities associated with the Sun. At Nine Gems in Bengaluru, we would be pleased to present this natural ruby to clients who appreciate both the cultural significance of Manikya and the appeal of a certified, no-heat gemstone.
