This natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, presents a distinctive Purplish Red colour that brings together the warmth of classic ruby red with a subtle violet undertone. The result is a rich, expressive hue, reminiscent of crimson petals seen in the softer light of dusk. At 1.47 carats, it has a pleasing presence for a refined ring or a pendant designed to keep the colour at the heart of the piece.
The pear shape lends this ruby an elegant, tapered outline that can be set with its point facing up or down to suit the design. Notable inclusions are present, as is often seen in natural rubies, and form part of the stone’s individual visual character. This is a gemstone best appreciated for its natural colour personality and the graceful silhouette it brings to bespoke fine jewellery.
The accompanying Nine Gems Lab report records indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. Heating is a recognised treatment in the ruby trade, and this disclosure allows the gemstone to be understood and purchased with clarity. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe such accurate certification is important: it gives the buyer a clear record of the laboratory’s reported observations while allowing the beauty of the ruby itself to remain central.
In Vedic tradition, Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), the planetary symbol of vitality, self-expression, leadership and inner confidence. Ruby has long held an honoured place in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, traditionally worn by those seeking to strengthen the qualities linked with the Sun in their horoscope. Whether chosen for this cultural significance or fashioned into a personal jewel, this Purplish Red natural ruby carries the enduring appeal of one of the most celebrated coloured gemstones.
