This Natural Ruby (Manikya) weighs 2.29 carats and carries the classic red colour long associated with this important gem. Red ruby has an unmistakable warmth: a colour that recalls glowing embers and deep crimson flowers, with a richness that has made Manikya one of India’s most admired traditional gemstones. Its oval outline offers a graceful, versatile form for bespoke jewellery.
The laboratory has reported indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important detail to understand clearly when choosing a ruby. Heating is a recognised enhancement in the ruby trade, and the report records its presence specifically through residue within fissures. The stone also has prominent inclusions; such internal features are commonly encountered in natural rubies and should be appreciated as part of the gem’s visible character rather than overlooked when viewing it.
Accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab, this ruby comes with professional documentation of its reported identity and treatment observations. A 2.29 carat red ruby can make a striking centrepiece in a ring, especially when set with diamonds that frame its warm colour, or in a refined pendant where the oval shape can be enjoyed closely. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would suggest selecting a setting that protects the stone while allowing its red presence to remain the focus.
In Vedic tradition, ruby or Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), the central luminary in Jyotish. Surya is traditionally linked with confidence, vitality, leadership, self-respect and a clear sense of purpose. Ruby has therefore held a special place in Indian jewellery and astrological gem traditions for centuries. Those considering Manikya in a Vedic context usually consult a knowledgeable astrologer to understand whether the Sun is supportive in their individual birth chart.
