Ruby (Manik) Soft-Rectangle – BTR108

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 rectangle; 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

Rectangular and baguette cuts are long and slim and pair well with narrow bands. Ruby (Manik) is a red corundum gemstone and the gem of Surya (Sun) in Vedic tradition. Traditionally, a qualified astrologer reviews the chart first, since the right gem varies from person to person. 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.

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. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

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 a certificate included?

Certification is not listed on this page. If you need a lab report for a specific stone, message us before ordering.
