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

This pair of natural coral cabochons presents precise, verifiable measurements and material attributes for careful selection. The stones are opaque, round shaped corals with weights of 0.74 carats and 0.83 carats respectively. The first cabochon measures 6.64 by 6.59 by 2.56 millimeters, the second measures 6.54 by 6.46 by 2.91 millimeters. Both stones have a cabochon cut, producing smooth domed surfaces that emphasize body color and surface luster, and both display light color intensity. One stone carries a salmon hue, the other a soft white tone. The polish on each cabochon is excellent, providing a consistent, even reflection across the domes. There has been no enhancement applied to either piece, the material is natural coral, and the documented origin for the pair is Italy. These factual specifications establish the physical and gemological profile of the pair for appraisal and design planning.

Visually the pair is closely matched in size, profile, and surface finish, with only a small difference in carat weight and dome height that will be readily accommodated in precision settings. The salmon and white colors are subtle and sit within a light intensity range, which allows for gentle contrast between the two stones while maintaining an overall cohesive appearance when set together. The cabochon shape is appropriate for designs that benefit from a continuous, unbroken surface, including stud and bezel styles, small pendants, and inlay work where a low to moderate dome is preferred. The consistent polish enhances the natural waxy to satiny luster typical of coral, making the surface appear smooth and uniform under conventional light. Given the organic nature of coral and its fine grained surface texture, these cabochons have been cut and finished to preserve material integrity while maximizing the visual quality inherent to Italian coral.

The material characteristics of natural coral require specific handling and mounting considerations to preserve appearance and longevity. Coral is an organic gem with a relatively low hardness, approximately three to four on the Mohs scale, therefore mechanical protection is advised. Bezel or partially enclosed settings are recommended for rings and bracelets to limit exposure to abrasion and impact, while pendant and earring applications can make use of lighter, less intrusive secure mounting. Avoid chemical cleaners, acids, ultrasonic cleaning, and steam treatments, and protect the stones from prolonged exposure to direct heat and strong sunlight, which can affect color and internal moisture balance. Routine care with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth will maintain the polish. Storage separate from harder gemstones prevents scratches and surface damage.

The Natural Gemstone Company provides these corals with transparent documentation of weight, dimensions, cut, color intensity, polish grade, enhancement status, and origin. For clients requiring additional verification we can supply high resolution imagery, further measurement confirmation, and guidance on specific mounting strategies to suit design requirements. The described pair offers a matched set of natural Italian coral cabochons, each with clearly stated physical parameters and care recommendations, suitable for incorporation into refined jewelry pieces that respect the material’s organic character.
