Ruby (Manik) Soft-Oval – BTR103

Ruby (Manik) sold as a loose gemstone, so you can choose the weight and the setting yourself.

This is a loose ruby, not a finished piece of jewellery; no metal setting is included. Weight options: 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti (16 options). The listing describes the tone as soft oval; gems vary, so ask for a daylight photo if the exact shade matters. Weights step from 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti, and larger weights mean a larger stone.

About ruby

Oval cuts are the most versatile shape: they suit rings and pendants and tend to look larger for their weight. Ruby (Manik) is a red corundum gemstone and the gem of Surya (Sun) in Vedic tradition. In Vedic practice a gemstone is normally chosen after a chart review by a qualified astrologer, since suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Tradition attaches meaning to the gem, but no result is promised.

Gifting

Gems are given at birthdays and milestones, and are most appreciated when the recipient's chart has been considered.

Natural gemstones vary in shade, clarity and inclusions, and small differences from the photos are normal. Expect the colour to look slightly different in sunlight and lamplight. For a certificate or treatment information on this gem, ask before you order.

A common pre-purchase question: check the listing details and photos first, then message us if anything is unclear.

FAQs

How do I pick a weight?

Most buyers decide by budget and stone size; those using the gem astrologically usually follow their astrologer. There is a familiar body-weight rule for Ratti, but astrologers do not all follow it.

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Tradition says a gem's suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.

Is there a lab certificate?
