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

This marquise pair of natural corals presents an exceptional combination of size, color, and finish, ideal for collectors and high end jewelers. Individually the stones weigh 1.59 carats and 2.01 carats, with dimensions of 11.74 x 6.05 x 3.34 mm and 11.92 x 6.36 x 3.88 mm, shaped as cabochon marquise cuts that maximize surface luster and uniform color. The material is opaque with a vivid orangish red saturation, showing consistently strong color intensity across each piece, and finished to an excellent polish that highlights the smooth, satiny surface typical of fine coral. There has been no enhancement to either stone, and their documented origin is Italy, a source associated with historically prized Mediterranean coral, which adds provenance value for discerning buyers.

For the educated buyer evaluating these corals, the key attributes are their natural, untreated status, consistent vivid coloration, and the rare occurrence of such a close visual match in shape and proportion. Coral grading emphasizes color uniformity, absence of surface pits or heavy fractures, and the quality of polish, and this pair scores highly on all those points, making them suitable for matched earrings, a statement ring set, or bespoke paired designs. At The Natural Gemstone Company we note that exact matches in marquise cabochon coral are uncommon, and finding two stones this well paired in both dimension and hue significantly increases their market rarity and long term desirability. These corals should be set to protect their surfaces, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and when mounted in protective bezels they will retain their beauty for generations, offering both aesthetic appeal and collectible value for a sophisticated gemstone portfolio.
