This Natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, shows a rich Purplish Red colour that brings a slightly cooler, velvety nuance to ruby’s classic red body colour. It is an attractive choice for someone who enjoys a ruby with depth and personality rather than a strictly bright red appearance. At 2.3 carats, its oval outline offers a pleasing proportion for a ring or pendant where the colour can remain the centre of attention.
Ruby is one of the most cherished coloured gemstones, admired for its enduring association with warmth, confidence and royal jewellery. The notable inclusions reported in this stone are a visible part of its natural character; inclusions are commonly encountered in natural rubies and should be appreciated with an informed eye. This gemstone has indications of thermal enhancement, with heating residue noted in fissures. Such treatment information is clearly disclosed, allowing the stone to be understood and chosen with complete clarity.
The gem is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab, recording its identity as Natural Ruby and its reported treatment observations. Professional certification is especially useful when purchasing a fine coloured gemstone, as it provides a clear reference for the characteristics disclosed with the ruby. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we value this straightforward approach to presenting every gemstone honestly and respectfully.
In Vedic tradition, Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), the graha connected with self-expression, dignity, vitality and leadership. Ruby has long held an honoured place in Jyotish jewellery as Surya’s traditional gemstone, often chosen by those who wish to explore this classical planetary association under suitable astrological guidance. Its oval form would sit beautifully in a refined gold ring, or as the focal point of a bespoke pendant with a simple diamond surround.
