0.91 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Salmon (Orange) Cabochon Coral Pair from Italy

This matched pair of opaque coral cabochons is presented with precise lapidary control and material integrity, each stone weighed and measured to confirm its suitability for fine settings. The pair comprises a 0.42 carat specimen and a 0.49 carat specimen, with planar dimensions of 5.52 x 5.47 x 2.05 millimeters and 5.54 x 5.49 x 2.29 millimeters respectively, and a round outline that reflects strict size tolerances. Both stones exhibit a domed cabochon profile, with even crown curvature, well centered apex, and parallel polished bases for reliable bezel or collet seating. Color is a true salmon orange, assessed as intense in color intensity, with medium to medium dark tone and strong saturation resulting in uniform transmission of light across the surface. Optical character is consistently opaque, with no evidence of dyeing, stabilization, or thermal enhancement. Surface finish is described as excellent polish, achieved through progressive fine abrasive stages and final diamond paste polishing, producing smooth specular reflection and minimal surface irregularity. The matching process prioritized hue and saturation congruence, tight dimensional tolerance across both X and Y axes, and proportional dome height, resulting in a pair whose visual balance and setting predictability meet specifications for precision jewelry fabrication.

The ethical sourcing behind this pair reflects The Natural Gemstone Companys commitment to traceable and responsible procurement, with origin documented as Italy and supply chains audited to ensure compliance with regional fisheries management and local harvesting regulations. These corals were acquired from licensed small scale harvesters operating within managed beds, where extraction practices are designed to minimize habitat disturbance and to support local stewardship programs. Chain of custody records accompany the pair, detailing harvest location, licensure, and initial processing, and supporting transparent verification on request. No chemical or physical enhancements have been applied at any stage, and all cutting and finishing were performed using non invasive mechanical techniques that preserve natural material characteristics. For the technical buyer seeking both material precision and ethical provenance, this matched pair offers verifiable origin data, exacting lapidary workmanship, and uncompromised natural color and polish, and can be supplied with accompanying documentation through The Natural Gemstone Company.
