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

This pair of natural coral cabochons from The Natural Gemstone Company consists of two heart shaped stones weighing 2.06 carats and 2.08 carats respectively, the gems present a salmon and white palette with medium light color intensity, the pieces are opaque in appearance, each has been shaped into a classic heart outline and finished as cabochons, the measured dimensions are 8.38 by 8.65 by 4.54 millimeters for the 2.06 carat stone, and 8.27 by 8.64 by 4.73 millimeters for the 2.08 carat stone, both exhibit an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and softens the transition between facets and curves, no enhancement has been applied to either coral, the origin for the pair is Italy, and the provenance has been confirmed as natural, untreated coral material suitable for fine jewelry use.

Physically the pair demonstrates consistent size and visual balance appropriate for matched settings, the slight variance in carat weight is marginal and within expected tolerances for hand finished organic gemstones, the cabochon cut emphasizes the internal texture and color distribution typical of coral, presenting a smooth domed face and a well executed pavilion that supports secure bezel seating, the medium light color intensity provides a delicate and wearable tone that reads as a warm salmon with subtle white veining, the opaque bodytone conceals internal cavities and contributes to a uniform visual surface, the excellent polish provides a soft glow rather than a sharp mirror finish, which is characteristic and desirable for high quality coral cabochons intended for classic and contemporary designs alike.

When considering setting and design, the heart shape and dimensions make these stones particularly well suited to matched earrings, a pendant pair, or paired settings in a cuff or bracelet, the 8.3 to 8.7 millimeter span affords a presence that is noticeable without overwhelming a refined design, mountings that employ bezel or tension settings will protect the softer coral material while highlighting the smooth domed surface, designers should allow for coral hardiness which typically falls around 3 on the Mohs scale, special care is advised to avoid abrasive contact, exposure to heat, harsh chemicals, or prolonged contact with cosmetics and perfumes, cleaning should be performed with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, ultrasonic and steam treatments are not recommended, proper setting and maintenance will preserve the polish and color for long term wear.
