This natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, carries the classic red colour long admired in fine jewellery and Indian gem traditions. Red ruby has an unmistakable warmth, recalling the richness of a pomegranate seed or a glowing ember, and its pear shape gives the stone a graceful outline that can sit beautifully as the focal point of a bespoke design. At 1.7 carats, it has a presence that suits a refined ring or a delicate pendant.
The laboratory reports indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important detail to understand clearly: the treatment is identified and disclosed, allowing the gemstone to be appreciated with full transparency. Prominent inclusions are also present; these are visible natural features within the ruby and form part of the stone’s individual appearance. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe such details should always be shared openly when selecting a natural coloured gemstone.
This ruby is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab and Gem Testing Laboratory | GJEPC (GTL). Professional laboratory documentation is useful when choosing a ruby, as it records the reported gemstone identification and treatment observations for this particular stone. Its elegant pear cut would work especially well in a yellow-gold pendant with a fine diamond surround, or in a tailored ring where the tapered point creates a distinctive, elongated silhouette.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya). Surya represents vitality, confidence, leadership, self-respect and a clear sense of purpose in Jyotish tradition. Ruby has therefore held an honoured place in Indian jewellery and astrological customs for generations. Those exploring the traditional connection between ruby and the Sun may value its enduring cultural significance, while jewellery lovers can simply enjoy the unmistakable beauty of a natural red ruby.
