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

This pair of Italian corals presents a fine example of premium organic gemstones, each exhibiting marquise shape cabochon cutting, vivid orangish red color, and an excellent polish. The stones weigh 0.59 carats and 0.74 carats respectively, with dimensions of 9.78 by 4.84 by 2.12 millimeters and 9.81 by 4.75 by 2.72 millimeters. Both pieces are opaque, which is typical and desired for coral, and their surface quality is notable for uniform luster and a smooth, well executed domed profile. In terms of grading, these corals score highly on color saturation and uniformity, they present minimal surface irregularities, and they are free from enhancements. For buyers who assess specimens by the standard criteria of color, condition, cut, size, and treatment history, this pair checks the critical boxes, offering consistent hue, good proportions for bezel or prong settings, and documented natural origin.

The origin of these corals is Italy, a provenance that carries historical and market significance, because Mediterranean coral has long been prized for its color and natural character. No enhancement has been applied, which increases value to collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize untreated materials, and the matching marquise silhouettes make the pair especially desirable for high quality earrings or for complementary elements in bespoke designs. From a gemological perspective, coral value is driven by color intensity, surface integrity, and confirmed natural origin, and this pair excels across those metrics. Practical considerations for an educated purchaser include the organic nature of coral, its sensitivity to acids, heat, and ultrasonic cleaning, and the recommendation to set these stones in protective settings and to clean them gently with a soft cloth. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the provenance and the untreated status of these corals, and we can assist with certification options and setting recommendations tailored to preserve the beauty and value of this elegant, vivid pair.
