3.06 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Salmon and White Cabochon Coral Pair from Italy

This matched pair of Mediterranean coral cabochons from Italy exemplifies precise lapidary control and careful material selection, The Natural Gemstone Company presents a salmon and a white oval coral, weighing 1.93 carats and 1.13 carats respectively, with dimensions 9.18 by 7.13 by 2.72 millimeters and 9.30 by 7.12 by 4.21 millimeters. Both stones are opaque, with faint color intensity indicating low saturation and a soft, even tone, the salmon exhibits a delicate pinkish orange hue while the white displays a warm cream tone, each stone retains natural surface character without stabilization or dye, enhancement status none. The cabochon cut has been executed to maximize face color and tactile smoothness, the lower dome height of the lighter weight stone produces a subtle, flatter profile well suited to bezel or flush settings, while the slightly higher dome of the heavier stone provides dimensional contrast ideal for paired earring designs or paired in a two stone ring. The polish is excellent, producing a near mirror luster across the face with no visible pitting under standard loupe inspection, the cutting has respected the natural grain of coral to minimize stress fractures and to preserve structural integrity during setting.
