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

There are few materials that carry as much quiet authority and storied presence as Mediterranean red coral, and this exquisite pair from Italy is a direct link to that long lineage. For millennia coral has been carved, set, and treasured by cultures that prized its living origin and its deep symbolic resonance. In the hands of ancient craftsmen coral became amulets, rosary beads, and inlaid accents for garments and armor, and its presence in a jewel has always suggested both protection and prestige. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present this matched pair of round red corals, a testament to that enduring tradition, each stone unmarred by treatment, preserved in its natural state to honor the original character and spirit of the sea from which it was formed.

These corals are an elegant study in proportion and polish, offered as a matched pair weighing 0.49 carats and 0.61 carats respectively, and cut en cabochon to reveal their rich, opaque surface and vivid color intensity. The larger piece measures 6.01 by 6.00 by 2.04 millimeters, the smaller measures 5.89 by 5.93 by 2.40 millimeters, and both display a perfectly rounded silhouette that emphasizes their smooth finish. The cabochon cut is chosen not to faceting, but to celebrate depth of color and tactile perfection, and the excellent polish on these stones produces a softly luminous glow that transforms the dense red into a living warmth under changing light. No enhancement has been applied to these corals, a detail that matters deeply to connoisseurs who value authenticity and provenance, and the Italian origin adds a layer of Mediterranean romance and verified source to their story.

For designers and collectors who favor high end compositions, these corals are ideal for refined settings that allow their surface to speak. A simple gold bezel will emphasize the seamless domed finish, while a low profile platinum mount can create a modern, understated elegance. Because the pair is closely matched in tone and size, they are especially suited to classic stud earrings, paired lockets, or a balanced pendant and brooch combination that can travel across generations. Their smooth finish and cabochon form make them perfect for designs where touch and sight are equally important, where the wearer will appreciate the cool, polished feel against the skin and the way the color glows from within. Consider surrounding each piece with very small accent diamonds for contrast, or adopt a vintage setting that references the long history of coral in Mediterranean jewelry to amplify their innate timelessness.

When you choose these corals from The Natural Gemstone Company you are acquiring more than just matched stones, you are inviting a piece of heritage into a contemporary collection. We stand behind their natural origin and untreated condition, and we invite you to consult with our design specialists to realize a setting that honors both the jewel and its lineage. To preserve the fine surface and color, avoid harsh chemicals and extended exposure to acidic substances, clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap and water, and refrain from ultrasonic or steam cleaning methods that are not suitable for organic materials. These corals will make an elegant statement now and a cherished heirloom later, each piece carrying the quiet assurance of natural beauty, meticulous polish, and the craftsmanship of generations.
