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

These marquise salmon corals present a rare combination of pure, untreated beauty and practical proportions, making them stand out from the many mass treated or dyed corals on the market. We are offering a matched opaque pair weighing 0.61 carats and 0.71 carats respectively, measuring 9.80 x 5.03 x 3.03 mm and 9.83 x 5.11 x 2.33 mm, cabochon cut, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, with no enhancement, and an origin in Italy. Compared with commercially common coral that is often stabilized, dyed, or heat treated to compensate for inferior color, these pieces retain their natural salmon tone, delivering a warm saturated orange that reads fresh and authentic in person. The marquise shape is more elegant than simple rounds or ovals for certain designs, its elongated silhouette providing a flattering focal point that pairs beautifully for earrings or as accents flanking a central gem in a bespoke piece. The cabochon cut enhances the solid, velvety surface of natural coral, creating a soft, luminous glow that faceting cannot replicate, and the high polish here emphasizes the depth and evenness of color, which is a mark of high quality Italian coral.

From a value and uniqueness perspective these corals are superior to many alternatives because they are natural and unenhanced, and because they come as a carefully matched pair ready for immediate use. While larger single stones may attract attention, well matched pairs like this one offer more design flexibility, and their consistent tone and proportion reduce the need for aftermarket color matching or costly adjustments. For designers and collectors seeking genuine material, Italian origin is sought after for its historical reputation and controlled harvesting, adding provenance that supports long term value. Care is straightforward, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged immersion, clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners to preserve the surface. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the authenticity and quality of these corals, and we can assist with setting suggestions, matching stones, or providing additional photos and measurements. If you want a naturally vivid, untreated marquise coral pair that outperforms treated alternatives in both character and long term appeal, this pair is an exceptional choice.
