13.48 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Coral Pair from Australia

This matched pair of Australian orange corals presents an exceptional combination of weight, proportion, and surface quality that will appeal to educated buyers. The two pieces are 6.86 carats and 6.62 carats respectively, with dimensions of 17.80 x 7.20 x 7.60 millimeters and 18.20 x 7.20 x 7.20 millimeters, fashioned as drops cut to optimize silhouette and wearability. As organic gemstones, corals are graded differently from crystalline gems, with primary emphasis placed on color, saturation, body tone, uniformity, surface integrity, and luster. These examples exhibit intense color intensity, an even orange bodytone, and an excellent polish, attributes that increase visual appeal and market value. Clarity considerations for coral focus on surface blemishes, fissures, and porosity rather than internal inclusions, and these pieces are noted as opaque with smooth surfaces and no visible fractures, reflecting careful selection and cutting. Importantly, the material is described as having no enhancement, a critical factor for collectors and connoisseurs, because untreated natural corals command a premium due to their rarity and authenticity.

Provenance and practical considerations further enhance the desirability of this pair. Originating from Australia, these corals carry geographic traceability which supports ethical sourcing and compliance with trade regulations, attributes that discerning purchasers prioritize. The close match in weight, shape, and finish makes them ideal for high quality earrings or as complementary drops in bespoke jewelry, where symmetry and visual harmony matter. From a conservation and care perspective, coral benefits from protective settings and gentle maintenance, avoid ultrasonic cleaning and harsh chemicals, clean with mild soap and a soft cloth, and protect from prolonged exposure to heat and strong acids to preserve color and polish. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize provenance documentation, careful grading, and responsible supply chain practices, and we recommend bezel or partially bezel settings to protect the rounded tips and maintain surface integrity during wear. For a buyer seeking an elegant, untreated organic gem pair with strong color, solid surface quality, and reliable origin, this Australian orange coral set represents a compelling acquisition.
