This Natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, carries the classic red colour long associated with one of the most celebrated gemstones in fine jewellery. Its warm red presence has an enduring appeal: rich enough to feel regal, yet versatile enough to bring colour and life to a refined design. At 1.68 carats, this oval ruby has a pleasing size for a ring, pendant or a distinctive piece of bespoke jewellery.
The gemstone shows notable inclusions, features that are commonly encountered in natural rubies and form part of the stone’s individual appearance. Its laboratory report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important disclosure for an informed buyer, clearly recording the treatment condition of this particular ruby. The red colour and its natural internal features can be appreciated as part of the character of a genuine ruby chosen for its beauty and traditional significance.
Ruby has held a special place in Indian jewellery for centuries, admired for the bold, auspicious colour it brings to gold and platinum settings alike. An oval cut can sit beautifully at the centre of a classic solitaire ring with diamond accents, or become the focal point of a pendant designed to keep its red hue close to the wearer. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would especially enjoy setting this Manikya in a design that lets its colour remain the main attraction.
In Vedic astrology, ruby is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the graha linked with self-expression, authority, vitality and confidence. Manikya is therefore an important gemstone in Jyotish traditions for those who follow Surya’s role in their birth chart. This Natural Ruby is certified by Nine Gems Lab, providing professional documentation for its reported weight, colour, treatment observations and other recorded characteristics.
