0.60 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Coral Pair from Italy

These marquise orange corals carry the quiet weight of centuries, a reminder of Mediterranean shores and of the long tradition of coral in classical jewelry. Sourced from Italy, these opaque cabochon corals present an intense orange hue and an excellent polish, offering both warmth and restraint for those who value heritage and refined taste. Weighing 0.27 carats and 0.33 carats, and measuring 7.91 x 3.79 x 1.53 mm and 7.98 x 4.04 x 1.66 mm, they reflect the patient eye of the cutter who preserved the organic depth and surface luminosity inherent to fine coral. The marquise profile evokes leaves and ancient navarchs eyes, a form beloved in classical design for its ability to flatter settings while recalling motifs that have endured across eras. No enhancement has been applied, allowing the natural color intensity and the unique character of each piece to speak in their original voice.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take particular pride in pairing stones that honor the history that surrounds them while offering modern exactitude. Craftsmanship begins at the selection table, where rough coral is assessed for sound structure, color saturation, and grain, and continues at the lap where cutters shape each cabochon to achieve harmonious thickness, symmetrical marquise outlines, and congruent domes. Achieving a matched pair required minute adjustments to achieve near matching weights and dimensions, and constant polishing to reveal a smooth, satiny surface without losing the coral soul. Such careful work ensures the pair sits evenly when set, whether as a pair of stud earrings, as accents flanking a center gem, or as twin details in an heirloom ring. These corals are ideal for clients who seek a link to tradition, a gemstone that reads as timeless rather than trendy, and a piece whose value lies in provenance, craftsmanship, and authenticity. For collectors and designers who appreciate stones with history and hands on care, these Italian marquise cabochons offer a story to be worn and passed on.
