This natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, presents a rich purplish red colour that gives the gem a distinctive, slightly cooler red expression. Rather than a straightforward scarlet, this hue carries a subtle violet undertone, lending depth and individuality to the stone. Ruby has long been treasured as one of the great precious gemstones, and its red colour has traditionally been associated with warmth, vitality and regal ornament.
A particularly important feature is the report of no indications of thermal enhancement. In fine ruby, this recorded no-heat character is valued because the colour and overall character seen in the gem have not been thermally enhanced. The oval shape gives the 4.89 carat ruby a graceful outline, well suited to a refined solitaire ring or an elegant pendant where its purplish red colour can remain the centre of attention.
Notable inclusions are present, as can naturally occur in ruby. They are part of the gemstone’s individual appearance and should be appreciated when viewing the stone in person. This ruby is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab, providing professional documentation for its reported identity, weight, colour and treatment status. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would be pleased to help place this Manikya into a bespoke design that respects its natural character.
In Vedic astrology, ruby is traditionally connected with the Sun (Surya), the graha associated with confidence, leadership, self-expression and personal authority. Manikya holds an important place in Jyotish as the principal gemstone of Surya, and is traditionally worn by those seeking to honour or strengthen this planetary influence according to their horoscope. Its dignified red presence makes ruby especially meaningful in jewellery chosen with both beauty and traditional symbolism in mind.
