This 2.36 carat Natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, carries a rich Purplish Red colour that gives the classic ruby palette an appealing personal character. The red remains the heart of the stone, while its subtle purple note adds depth, like the changing colour of crimson petals in evening light. Ruby has long been treasured as one of the most expressive coloured gemstones, and this oval stone would bring a warm, regal touch to a finely made ring or pendant.
A particularly important feature is its report of no indications of thermal enhancement. This means the ruby’s recorded colour and character have not shown signs of heat treatment, a quality many buyers value in a natural ruby. Such a status allows one to appreciate the gem for the beauty it presents in its documented state. Notable inclusions are present; these are commonly encountered in natural rubies and should be appreciated as part of the stone’s individual appearance.
The ruby is certified by Nine Gems Lab and IIGJ Research & Laboratories | GJEPC (IIGJ), providing professional documentation for its identity and reported treatment status. Its oval shape is a versatile choice for bespoke jewellery, especially a refined yellow-gold ring with a clean surround of diamonds, or a classic pendant designed to keep the Purplish Red colour at the centre of attention. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would be pleased to help envision a setting that suits both the gem and its wearer.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with confidence, vitality, self-expression, authority and inner strength. Ruby is worn in Jyotish practice to support a favourable Surya, and is often chosen by those seeking to cultivate clarity of purpose and a stronger sense of personal presence. Its fiery red family of colour has made ruby the traditional Surya gemstone for generations, giving this natural, no-heat Manikya a meaningful place in astrological jewellery.
