This Natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, presents a pleasing Purplish Red colour that brings a softer violet nuance to ruby’s familiar red body colour. Rather than a sharp primary red, this shade can feel like crimson touched by the last colour of an evening sky. At 5.68 carats, it has a substantial presence for a bespoke ring or a refined pendant, while its cushion shape gives the stone a gentle, classic outline.
The ruby shows notable inclusions, features that are commonly encountered in natural corundum and form part of its individual visual character. Its report records indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important disclosure for a ruby buyer, as treatment information should always be understood clearly when choosing a fine gemstone. Nine Gems Lab certification accompanies this ruby, providing professional documentation of the reported identification and treatment observations.
Ruby has held a treasured place in Indian jewellery for centuries, admired for its warm red colour and enduring association with celebration, dignity and royal-style ornament. This Purplish Red Manikya would sit beautifully in a yellow-gold ring, where the metal can complement its rich tones, or in a carefully designed pendant with diamonds used as a light, elegant surround. A cushion-cut ruby also lends itself naturally to traditional-inspired jewellery with a more contemporary finish.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya). Surya represents self-expression, authority, vitality and clarity of purpose in Jyotish tradition, which is why ruby has long been regarded as the Sun’s principal gemstone. Those exploring gemstones within this cultural practice often value ruby for this historic planetary connection. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, this natural ruby is offered with its character and recorded treatment information presented openly for an informed purchase.
