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

These two beautiful, opaque corals make a compelling matched pair for fine jewelry, offering warm Mediterranean color and timeless appeal. The pair weighs 0.98 carats and 1.32 carats respectively, each fashioned into a round cabochon shape. The dimensions are 7.77 x 7.90 x 2.50 millimeters for the smaller stone, and 7.84 x 7.68 x 3.11 millimeters for the larger stone. Both display a medium color intensity in an attractive orange hue, and they have been given an excellent polish that highlights their smooth domed surfaces. There has been no enhancement to these stones, they are natural and unenhanced corals, and their origin is Italy. These specifics make them particularly desirable to collectors and designers who value provenance and untreated material.

Visually, the stones offer a warm, creamy orange that reads as classic coral while remaining versatile enough for contemporary settings. The cabochon cut accentuates the internal texture and subtle variations that give each piece character, producing a gentle glow rather than a sharp sparkle, which is exactly the quality many buyers seek in coral. The pair is well matched in tone and size which makes them especially suited to earrings, a pair of studs, or mirror image accents in a pendant and ring set. The excellent polish ensures comfortable wear against the skin and a glossy finish that reflects light softly, enhancing the color depth without distracting inclusions or treatments.

From a practical perspective, coral is a naturally softer organic gem and should be set and worn with appropriate care. For daily wear designs, a secure bezel setting is recommended to protect the domed edges and minimize direct impact, while custom bezel or halo designs can balance aesthetics and protection. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, strong acids, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged direct heat, as these can damage organic surfaces. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap and water, rinse carefully, and dry immediately. Store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratches, and consider occasional professional inspection of the mounting to ensure the settings remain secure.
