A closer look at Ruby

About the gemstone

Ruby is the red variety of corundum. Its colour can range from pinkish red to deep red; colour, clarity and treatments affect value.

Care & keeping

Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Ask about treatments before using ultrasonic or steam cleaning.

Before you buy

Ask whether the ruby is natural or laboratory-grown, whether it has been heated or filled, and for a matching laboratory report.

How do I choose the right weight and setting?

Choose a comfortable size for your hand or pendant, within your budget. Ask for the stone’s weight in carats, its dimensions and a separate setting quote. For planetary use, discuss your birth details and preferred wearing tradition with Parina rather than using a universal weight formula.

What should I send when enquiring?

Tell us your budget, preferred ring or pendant design and whether the stone is for jewellery or planetary practice. Request actual photos or a video, weight, treatment details, available laboratory documentation and final price before deciding.

Devotional guidance · Sunday

Manik bija mantra

ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रौं सः सूर्याय नमः

Oṃ hrāṃ hrīṃ hrauṃ saḥ sūryāya namaḥ

Reflective intention: Confidence, self-respect and purposeful leadership.

A meaningful first wearing

Place the jewellery on a clean cloth, sit quietly and set an intention. Recite at a comfortable pace, then close with gratitude. Use the gemstone’s own care instructions rather than soaking it in ritual mixtures.

Common traditional form; pronunciation and rites vary. Discuss formal practice with your teacher or Parina.
