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

A rare find from the storied waters of Italy, this matched pear shaped red coral pair arrives as a discreet and distinguished offering from The Natural Gemstone Company. Each stone is lovingly hand selected, polished to an excellent shine, and presented in a cabochon cut that brings forward the full warmth of the coral body. The two stones weigh 0.53 carats and 0.62 carats respectively, and their proportions have been carefully matched to create a harmonious pair. The dimensions of the smaller gem are 7.62 x 4.95 x 2.15 mm, and the companion measures 7.73 x 4.94 x 2.42 mm, a near identical footprint that allows for designs where symmetry is paramount. These corals are completely untreated, with no enhancement, preserving the authentic character and vivid color intensity that only natural Italian coral can display. For collectors and designers who prize provenance as much as beauty, the origin and purity of these stones mark them as elite components for exceptional creations.

What sets this pair apart is their matching clarity and internal consistency, attributes that are often elusive in natural coral. The surface and body are opaque, as true coral should be, and their cabochon shaping has been executed to maximize uniformity of tone and luster across both gems. In practice, this means that when set as a pair, they read as one compositional element rather than as mismatched halves. For symmetrical designs where mirroring and balance are the guiding principles, these two corals are ideal. Whether envisioned as a pair of drop earrings, matched accents flanking a central stone, or twin elements in a bespoke necklace, their matching clarity ensures that light, color, and eye appeal travel consistently from one piece to the other. That consistency is a silent luxury, appreciated only by those who understand how small differences can affect the overall presence of a finished piece.

Designers and discerning owners will find endless possibilities in the gently rounded pear silhouettes and vivid red hue. The cabochon style lends itself to classic and contemporary mounts alike, floating effortlessly in warm gold to enhance the coral tone, or contrasting with cool platinum or silver for a refined modern statement. Given the almost identical widths and lengths, these stones work beautifully in symmetrical settings that demand precise matching, such as mirrored stud earrings, paired pendant drops, or as balanced accents in a three stone arrangement. The slightly differing carat weights create a subtle and sophisticated dialogue between the two gems, allowing designers to play with scale while retaining absolute compositional unity. The excellent polish reveals a satiny surface that catches and reflects light in a soft, inviting way, a quality that photographs well and captivates in person. Ownership of this pair marks membership in a select group who value authenticity, provenance, and artisanal finish.

Availability of material of this caliber is limited, and pieces such as this matched pair are rarely assembled with such attention to matching clarity. The Natural Gemstone Company curates and offers this pair as part of an exclusive selection for customers who seek bespoke pieces with a naturally bold presence. We encourage thoughtful design decisions that honor the stone origin and natural beauty, and our team is available to discuss settings, mounting options, and bespoke commissions that complement the vivid color intensity and cabochon polish. Gentle care will preserve the surface and color, avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and occasional soft polishing will maintain the luster that makes these corals so appealing. If you wish to secure a pair that combines Italian origin, no enhancement, cabochon craftsmanship, vivid red coloration, matched clarity, and dimensions of 7.62 x 4.95 x 2.15 mm and 7.73 x 4.94 x 2.42 mm, please contact The Natural Gemstone Company to explore how these rare stones can be transformed into a signature creation that only a privileged few will own.
