This 2.44 carat Natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, shows a rich Purplish Red colour, where the classic warmth of ruby is softened by a subtle violet undertone. This nuanced colour can feel especially elegant in jewellery, with the red recalling glowing pomegranate seeds and the purple note adding depth. Ruby has long been treasured as one of the great coloured gemstones, valued for its vivid presence and enduring place in royal and traditional Indian jewellery.
The oval shape gives this ruby a graceful outline that can sit beautifully at the centre of a ring or pendant. Notable inclusions are present, as is often seen in natural rubies, and form part of the stone’s visible character. The laboratory report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important disclosed feature, allowing the gemstone to be understood and appreciated with complete clarity.
Certified by Nine Gems Lab, this Natural Ruby is accompanied by professional documentation of its identity, colour and reported treatment observations. A ruby of this size and attractive Purplish Red appearance can make a handsome bespoke jewel, particularly in a yellow-gold ring with a clean surrounding design, or in a refined pendant where its colour remains the focus. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe a gemstone is best appreciated when its individual qualities are presented honestly and clearly.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with confidence, authority, vitality and self-expression. Ruby has therefore held a respected place in Jyotish traditions for generations, often worn by those who seek to honour Surya’s symbolic qualities. Its deep red family of colour has naturally reinforced this association with warmth, radiance and inner strength in Indian gemstone culture.
