Ruby (Manik) Cherry-Red-Oval – BTR123

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 cherry 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. Traditionally, a qualified astrologer reviews the chart first, since the right gem varies from person to person. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.

FAQs

How do I pick a weight?

Weight is a matter of budget, the size you want and, for astrological use, your astrologer's advice. 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. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.
