Is this Ruby genuine and certified?

Yes. Each Ruby is a natural stone and is lab-certified, and you can request an independent X-ray lab report for your exact piece, so you can verify it yourself.

What is a Ruby (Manik) for in astrology?

Ruby, known as Manik, is the gemstone of the Sun (Surya). It is traditionally worn for confidence, vitality, leadership and success in career and authority, and is generally recommended for a weak Sun in the birth chart. It is suitable for men and women. These are traditional beliefs and not a guarantee of specific outcomes.

Which carat (ratti) and quality should I choose?

The ideal weight is best guided by your astrologer and is commonly chosen in a ratti suited to your chart. Rubies vary by origin and grade, and a richer red colour with higher clarity sits in a higher grade. The exact carat, origin and grade of this piece are stated on its listing and certificate.

Will my stone look exactly like the photo?

This is a single natural stone, so slight variation in colour, inclusions and shape is normal and is a sign of a genuine gem. Your certificate describes your exact stone.

How is it worn and cared for, and do you ship everywhere?

Ruby is traditionally set in gold or panchdhatu and worn on the ring finger, ideally energised before first wear. Keep it away from harsh chemicals and clean it gently. We offer free shipping across India and worldwide delivery.
