This 4.42 carat Natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, carries a distinctive Purplish Red colour that gives the gem a richer, more nuanced appearance than a straightforward red. The subtle purple influence can lend the colour a wine-like depth, reminiscent of crimson petals seen in evening light. Ruby has long been treasured as one of the most expressive coloured gemstones, and this oval stone offers a substantial presence for a bespoke ring or pendant.
The stone shows indications of thermal enhancement, with heating residue in fissures. This is an important disclosed characteristic of this individual ruby and should be appreciated as part of its gemological identity. Its notable inclusions are also visible within the stone; inclusions are commonly encountered in natural rubies and form part of the individual appearance of each gem. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe clear disclosure helps you choose a gemstone with a proper understanding of its recorded features.
Accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab, this Natural Ruby is presented with professional documentation of its reported colour, treatment observations and other gem details. The oval shape is particularly versatile in jewellery, sitting beautifully in a classic solitaire ring with diamonds at the shoulders, or in an elegant pendant where its Purplish Red hue can remain the central focus. Yellow gold can create a traditional warmth, while platinum or white gold offers a more contemporary frame.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with vitality, self-expression, authority and inner confidence. Ruby has an honoured place in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, and is traditionally worn by those who seek to strengthen the positive qualities connected with the Sun in their horoscope. Its deep red character gives this ruby a fitting visual connection to the solar symbolism and enduring cultural appeal of Manikya.
