This Natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, shows a pleasing Purplish Red colour that brings a softer, more nuanced expression to the classic ruby palette. The red remains the heart of the stone, while the gentle purple influence adds depth and an elegant wine-toned character. At 1.67 carats, it has a presence well suited to a refined bespoke jewel without feeling overly formal.
The oval shape is especially versatile for jewellery, lending itself beautifully to a classic ring with a clean gold setting, or a pendant where its rich colour can remain the centre of attention. Notable inclusions are reported in this ruby; such internal features are commonly encountered in natural rubies and form part of the stone’s individual appearance. A thoughtful open-backed setting can allow the colour to be enjoyed naturally.
The accompanying report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important disclosed characteristic of this individual ruby and should be considered as part of its overall identity. The gemstone is certified by Nine Gems Lab, providing professional documentation for its stated natural ruby identification, colour, weight and reported treatment observations. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe clear reporting helps customers choose a gemstone with proper understanding and appreciation.
In Vedic tradition, ruby or Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with self-expression, leadership, vitality, dignity and recognition. Ruby has long held an important place in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, often chosen by those seeking to honour this solar influence in accordance with their horoscope and an astrologer’s guidance. Its warm Purplish Red colour also makes it a meaningful choice for jewellery that carries both personal style and traditional Indian gemstone heritage.
