0.45 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

Presented here by The Natural Gemstone Company is a singular piece of natural Mediterranean coral that embodies both rarity and refined beauty, a 0.45 carat round cabochon that captures an orangish red hue of remarkable intensity, dimensions 4.73 by 4.62 by 2.80 millimeters, opaque in nature with an exceptional polish that makes the surface glow like a miniature sunrise, untreated and unenhanced which preserves the authentic character and value inherent to truly natural coral from Italy. This example is not a mass produced item, it is a carefully selected gem from a limited harvest, hand finished to a perfect dome that showcases the depth and uniformity of color, the cabochon cut has been chosen to maximize the warm, enveloping presence of the material, rather than to create optical effects, and the result is a stone that reads as timeless, quietly confident, and utterly unique, a gem that will not only complement fine jewelry, but will become the singular focal point of a bespoke creation. The provenance of Italian coral adds an extra layer of distinction, linking the piece to centuries of Mediterranean craftsmanship and a lineage of collectors who prize natural color and integrity above fashion, for the discerning buyer who understands that true rarity means original, unaltered material with a story traceable to its source.
