Ruby माणिक्य 9.11 CT

A generous natural ruby of 9.11 carat from Mozambique presented in an oval cut. The pink red body colour spreads evenly across the face of the stone with no dark zones. Clarity is graded AA and the gem is fully natural with no heat and no glass filling. Every ruby of this weight carries its own set of natural inclusions which is the surest sign that it grew in the earth and not in a lab.

Why the oval shape suits a large ruby

An oval outline lengthens the finger and makes a heavy stone look graceful rather than bulky. It also keeps more weight in the face of the gem so the ruby reads bigger than an equal weight round would. Jewellers often choose ovals for cocktail rings and for pendants that need presence.

Astrological significance of माणिक्य

In Vedic tradition ruby belongs to the Sun. It is usually set in gold and worn on the ring finger on a Sunday during sunrise. Followers of the practice link it to courage recognition and a stronger sense of self. This is shared as tradition and not as a promise of results.

Care advice

Wipe the ruby with lukewarm soapy water and a very soft brush. Keep it away from steam cleaners and strong acids. Store the piece in a soft pouch so harder stones like diamond do not scuff the polish.
