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

What weight is right for me?

Most buyers decide by budget and stone size; those using the gem astrologically usually follow their astrologer. A common rule of thumb in gemstone astrology is a weight in Ratti that relates to body weight, but recommendations differ between astrologers.

Which planet is Ruby linked to?

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

Should I wear it without consulting an astrologer?

Gemstone astrology suggests that suitability depends on your horoscope. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.
