This Natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, presents a gentle Light Red colour that feels warm and graceful rather than overly intense. Ruby has been treasured for centuries as the red variety of corundum, admired for its association with vitality, warmth and royal jewellery traditions. At 3.55 carats, this oval ruby has a pleasing size for a distinctive ring or a refined pendant, where its soft red tone can be paired beautifully with yellow gold.
The laboratory reports indications of thermal enhancement. Heating is an accepted and widely understood practice in the ruby trade, and the report clearly records this characteristic for informed selection. Its prominent inclusions are also noted; inclusions are commonly present in natural rubies and form part of the stone’s visible internal character. This is a ruby best appreciated for its natural gem identity, warm colour and honest accompanying documentation.
Certified by Nine Gems Lab, this Natural Ruby comes with professional reporting of its stated colour, weight, shape, inclusions and treatment indication. Such certification is useful when choosing an important loose gemstone, as it provides a clear record of the gem’s reported details. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would particularly enjoy setting this oval Manikya in a classic gold ring with a clean, protective surround that allows the red colour to remain the focus.
In Vedic astrology, ruby or Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya). Surya holds an important place in Jyotish and is traditionally linked with confidence, self-expression, leadership, vitality and personal stature. Ruby has therefore long been worn in Indian gemstone traditions as the principal gem of the Sun. Those considering Manikya in an astrological context generally consult a knowledgeable astrologer to understand the role of Surya in their individual birth chart.
