This natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, carries the classic red colour long admired in one of the world’s most historic gemstones. Red ruby has an unmistakably regal association, recalling the warmth of a glowing ember and the rich colour traditionally linked with courage, vitality and authority. At 1.35 carats, this oval ruby has a pleasing size for a refined ring or a personal astrological jewel.
Its most important quality is the report of no indications of thermal enhancement. This means the ruby’s recorded colour and character have not shown evidence of heat treatment, a detail that many knowledgeable buyers value in fine rubies. Natural rubies commonly contain internal inclusions, and this stone has notable inclusions; these should be appreciated as part of its natural formation rather than expected to resemble a commercially uniform material.
The oval shape lends itself beautifully to a classic gold ring, particularly a traditional Indian-style Manikya setting with an open back where appropriate for astrological wear. It could also make a distinctive centre stone in a bespoke pendant. This ruby is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab, providing professional documentation of its reported identity and no-heat finding. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would be pleased to help place it in jewellery that respects both its natural beauty and traditional significance.
In Vedic astrology, ruby is the principal gemstone of the Sun (Surya). Manikya is traditionally worn to strengthen the favourable qualities associated with Surya: self-confidence, leadership, clarity of purpose, recognition and inner resolve. In Jyotish practice, a ruby may be considered by those seeking to support the Sun in their birth chart, ideally after guidance from a qualified astrologer. Its natural red colour makes this ruby especially fitting for a meaningful Surya gemstone jewel.
