This Natural Ruby (Manikya) presents a pleasing Light Purplish Red colour, where the familiar warmth of ruby is softened by a delicate violet undertone. It has a gentler, more nuanced look than a strongly saturated red ruby, with a colour that can feel graceful and individual in fine jewellery. At 3.16 carats, it offers a substantial presence while retaining the elegant proportions of its oval shape.
The Nine Gems Lab report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important disclosed characteristic of this ruby and should be appreciated as part of its documented identity. Prominent inclusions are also present; such internal features are commonly encountered in natural rubies and contribute to the stone’s individual appearance. A ruby is best chosen with a clear understanding of its colour, treatment record and visible character, all of which are represented here.
Its oval form would lend itself beautifully to a bespoke ring, especially in a refined yellow-gold setting that complements its purplish red tone. It could also make a distinctive centre for a pendant with a simple diamond surround, allowing the ruby’s colour to remain the focus. This Natural Ruby is certified by Nine Gems Lab, providing professional documentation for the reported gemstone details and treatment observations.
In Vedic gemstone tradition, Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with confidence, vitality, leadership and self-expression. Ruby has long held an honoured place in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, valued for its deep symbolic connection with inner strength and dignified presence. At Nine Gems in Bengaluru, we are pleased to present this ruby as a naturally formed gem with a clearly recorded character for customers who appreciate both fine jewellery and India’s enduring gemstone traditions.
