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

These marquise cabochon corals carry the quiet authority of the Mediterranean, a lineage that reaches back to Roman signet rings and Renaissance rosary beads, a lineage that speaks to collectors who prize continuity and provenance. Each stone is fully natural, originating from Italy, with the pair weighing 1.59 carats and 2.01 carats respectively, and measuring 11.74 by 6.05 by 3.34 millimeters, and 11.92 by 6.36 by 3.88 millimeters, their marquise silhouette rendered in a smooth cabochon cut that celebrates the organic beauty of coral rather than faceting it away. The color is a vivid orangish red, a hue long associated with protection, passion, and classical elegance, shown here in an opaque body that holds light with a warm glow, an excellent polish that gives each surface a soft, satiny reflection, and no enhancement, preserving the material in its authentic state. For those who understand the value of origin, these Italian corals carry both a geographic and cultural story, a continuity of craft from Mediterranean waters to the hands of skilled cutters, and they arrive as matched companions ready to be set into earrings, a pendant duo, or a bespoke heirloom piece.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we steward such materials with respect for their history and for the future pieces they will become, offering these corals as an invitation to create something timeless. Imagine them mounted in yellow gold settings that echo ancient jewelry, or paired with pearls for a composition that bridges centuries, the marquise form lending itself to elongated ear designs and elegant finger work, their dimensions ideal for balanced symmetry in matched settings. Because these stones are untreated, their color and surface tell a straightforward truth, a reliability prized by collectors and designers alike, and their cabochon finish makes them exceptionally comfortable for everyday wear while still holding the dignity of an object meant to last. For a client seeking heritage, a maker seeking a statement of authenticity, or a collector building a cabinet of Mediterranean gems, this pair represents a rare harmony of provenance, cut, and color, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to assist with additional information, custom setting advice, and confident stewardship as you bring this piece of history into a new generation.
