Detailed Price Breakup
Get in touch
This 4.06 carat Natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, carries the classic red colour that has made ruby one of the most cherished gems in fine jewellery for centuries. Red ruby has an unmistakably regal appeal, recalling the richness of a deep rose and the warmth of a glowing ember. Its cushion shape gives the stone a softly rounded outline that can look especially graceful in a ring, pendant or traditional bespoke jewel.
Its confirmed Madagascar origin adds an engaging chapter to the gem’s story. Madagascar is an important modern source of natural rubies and is respected for bringing beautiful material into the world of coloured gemstones. Natural rubies commonly show internal features formed during their growth, and this stone has notable inclusions. These are best appreciated as part of its natural identity and should be considered when choosing a setting that protects and complements the gem.
A particularly important quality is the report of no indications of thermal enhancement. This means the ruby’s recorded colour and character have not shown signs of heat treatment, a detail many buyers value when selecting a natural ruby. The gemstone is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab and IIGJ Research & Laboratories | GJEPC (IIGJ), providing professional documentation for its stated origin and treatment findings. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would see this ruby beautifully set in a refined gold ring, perhaps with a protective bezel or an elegant halo design.
In Vedic astrology, ruby is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with confidence, leadership, vitality, self-expression and personal authority. Manikya has long been worn in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, especially by those seeking to strengthen the positive qualities traditionally connected with the Sun. With its natural red presence and no-heat report, this Madagascar ruby is a meaningful option for someone considering a gemstone for both fine jewellery and traditional Vedic use.
