This natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, carries a rich Purplish Red colour that gives the classic ruby palette a slightly softer, more nuanced expression. The red remains the heart of its appeal, while the purple note adds depth reminiscent of crimson petals seen in late-evening light. At 2.29 carats, it has a pleasing presence for a bespoke ring or a refined pendant, with its oval shape lending itself naturally to an elegant, balanced design.
Ruby has been treasured for centuries as one of the most celebrated coloured gemstones, admired for its vivid red family of hues and enduring place in fine jewellery. This stone shows indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. Heating is a recognised treatment in rubies, and this laboratory-reported information is presented clearly so that the stone can be appreciated with a full understanding of its recorded character. Its notable inclusions are also part of the gemstone’s visible natural makeup and should be considered when choosing the right setting style.
In Vedic tradition, Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), the graha linked with vitality, self-expression, authority and inner confidence. Ruby is therefore an important gemstone in Jyotish practice, traditionally worn by those seeking to strengthen the positive qualities associated with Surya. Astrological gemstone selection is usually considered alongside an individual horoscope, planetary position and the advice of a knowledgeable astrologer.
Certified by Nine Gems Lab, this natural ruby is accompanied by professional documentation of its reported identity, colour, treatment indication and other observed characteristics. A protective bespoke setting in yellow gold can beautifully complement its Purplish Red colour, while a pendant design may allow the gemstone’s individual character to remain the focus. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would be pleased to help you explore a setting that respects both this ruby’s beauty and its traditional significance.
