Ruby (Manik) Currant-Red-Oval – BTR116

Looking for a Ruby (Manik) to set in your own ring or pendant? This loose stone is listed by weight so you can choose what suits your design.

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 red 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.

FAQs

How do I choose the weight?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

Which planet is Ruby linked to?

In Jyotish, ruby is linked with Surya (Sun).

Should I wear it without consulting an astrologer?

Gemstone astrology holds that the right stone depends on your chart. Many people consult an astrologer first; you can also book an astrological report on Brahmatells.
