A loose Ruby (Manik), cushion cut, offered by weight for jewellery, collecting and astrological use.

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).

About ruby

Cushion cuts have soft, rounded corners and are a traditional choice for bold ring settings. 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. The associations are traditional and symbolic, and no outcome is promised.

Care

Give it an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth. It is a fairly durable stone, but still keep it away from perfume, hairspray and hard knocks.

Gifting

A gemstone can be a meaningful gift for a birthday, a milestone or an astrology-minded family member, ideally chosen with their chart in mind.

Photos are a guide: gemstones differ a little in colour, clarity and inclusions from piece to piece. Colour can also look different under daylight and indoor light. For a certificate or treatment information on this gem, ask before you order.

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. There is a familiar body-weight rule for Ratti, but astrologers do not all follow it.

Which planet is Ruby linked to?

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

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Tradition says a gem's suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.
