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

This paired set of natural orange corals presents a balanced and restrained aesthetic suited to refined jewelry applications. Each stone is a rounded cabochon, displaying an even opaque body with a gentle surface luster and consistent medium color intensity. The pair offers complementary weights and proportions that make them appropriate for matched designs such as a pair of stud earrings, matched bead elements, or paired inlay work. The finish on both pieces is described as excellent polish, which enhances the smooth silhouette and provides a clean reflective response across the domed surfaces. The origin of the material is Italy, and the stones are supplied as natural coral with no enhancement recorded, ensuring that the visual character is intrinsic to the material and not altered by dyeing or stabilization processes.

Technical specifications for the two components are as follows, the first coral weighs 1.97 carats and measures 6.61 by 6.60 by 6.58 millimeters, while the second coral weighs 2.26 carats and measures 6.91 by 6.91 by 6.87 millimeters. Both stones are round in outline and executed in a cabochon cut, with dome profiles that present uniform curvature and well centered symmetry. Color is classified as medium intensity orange, reflecting a saturated yet restrained tone that reads evenly across each surface. The pieces are described as opaque, which contributes to stable color perception under varied lighting conditions. No enhancement has been applied to either stone, a detail that is important for conservation of natural characteristics and for collectors who prioritize untreated material.

In practical terms these corals combine stable dimensional properties with attractive visual harmony. The close match in diameter and the modest difference in weight allow flexibility in design, where exact weight matching is not required but visual pairing is desirable. The opaque nature reduces concerns about windowing or light leakage that can affect transparent materials, and the medium color intensity affords a balance between vividness and subtlety that adapts well to both gold and silver settings. The cabochon form is mechanically robust relative to faceted profiles, and the excellent polish minimizes surface irregularities, supporting comfortable wear in jewelry such as earrings, pendants, and bracelet elements. For applications requiring precise drill placement or custom mounting, the consistent domed geometry simplifies measuring and setting procedures.

Care and provenance information is provided to support informed selection and long term stewardship of these corals. The material is from Italy and is presented without enhancement, a combination that supports clear documentation of origin and treatment status. Corals are organic gemstones and benefit from avoidance of prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, abrasive surfaces, and extreme heat, therefore routine cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water is recommended, followed by drying to preserve surface polish and color. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the described attributes of these pieces and can provide supplementary details on origin documentation and recommended setting practices upon request. For customers seeking matched, untreated coral components with reliable dimensions and a refined cabochon finish, this pair offers a quality option that aligns with professional design and conservation standards.
