This natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, carries a pleasing Pinkish Red colour that softens ruby’s classic red with a gentle rosy warmth. The result is a lively, elegant hue reminiscent of crimson petals touched by early morning light. At 2.17 carats, it has a presence well suited to a bespoke ring, while its pear shape can create a graceful, elongated look on the hand.
A particularly important feature is the report of no indications of thermal enhancement. Fine rubies are often appreciated when their recorded colour and character have not been thermally enhanced, as this allows the stone’s natural appearance to remain the central story. Notable inclusions are present; these are commonly encountered in natural rubies and form part of the gemstone’s individual visual character.
This ruby is certified by Nine Gems Lab, with the accompanying documentation recording its identity, weight, colour, shape and reported treatment status. A pear-shaped Manikya would sit beautifully in a refined solitaire ring, either with the point facing towards the fingertip for a more dramatic silhouette or set as a pendant where its flowing outline can be fully appreciated. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would suggest a setting that keeps the ruby itself at the heart of the design.
In Vedic astrology, ruby is the principal gemstone of the Sun (Surya), the planet traditionally linked with self-confidence, vitality, leadership, dignity and recognition. Manikya has long been worn in Jyotish to honour and strengthen the favourable influence of Surya in a person’s horoscope. For someone advised to wear a Sun gemstone, this natural, no-heat ruby offers a meaningful choice, combining the ancient astrological importance of Manikya with the warm beauty of its Pinkish Red colour.
