0.68 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

A singular treasure awaits the discerning collector who recognizes true rarity, an exquisite round orange coral offered with absolute confidence by The Natural Gemstone Company, a gem that speaks to a refined taste and an appreciation for the natural world. This is not a mass produced item, this is a hand selected, natural coral of exceptional charm, presented as part of a deliberately small and carefully curated selection, an opportunity reserved for those who seek pieces of provenance and character. The aesthetic is timeless and quietly bold, the hue a warm orange that evokes Mediterranean sunsets and artisanal heritage, a hue that is at once soft and distinctive, carrying the tactile warmth that only genuine natural coral can deliver. Owning this coral is an invitation to join an exclusive circle of collectors who value the story behind the stone, the subtle variations that mark authenticity, and the assurance that each specimen is rare and unaltered.

The gem itself is a beautiful opaque orange coral, weighing 0.68 carat, fashioned into a perfect round shape with measurements of 7.13 by 7.13 by 1.97 mm, finished with a classic cabochon cut. The cabochon form enhances the gentle play of light across the surface, allowing the medium color intensity to be appreciated in varying lights, from warm indoor glow to crisp daylight. The polish is excellent, the surface smooth and reflective, revealing faint natural banding and organic depth that confirm a life formed beneath the sea. There has been no enhancement, no dyeing or treatments, assuring you of a wholly natural piece from its very origin, Italy, a source celebrated for producing corals historically prized by connoisseurs for their pure color and fine texture. These attributes combine to make this coral a dependable choice for jewelers and designers seeking a natural focal point, and for collectors who insist on stones that retain their integrity and provenance.

This piece is ideal for a bespoke commission, whether set as a solitary pendant that showcases its round, cabochon profile, or incorporated as the centerpiece of a refined ring or artisanal bracelet, crafted to complement the coral without overwhelming its natural beauty. Given its size and weight, it invites thoughtful design that highlights the stone rather than conceals it, pairing beautifully with warm metals such as rose gold and yellow gold, or with subdued settings in platinum for a contemporary contrast. The Natural Gemstone Company offers personalized guidance to ensure your setting enhances the coral without compromising its surface, and we provide provenance documentation upon request to confirm origin and treatment status. Availability is strictly limited, a measure we take to preserve the exceptional nature of our inventory and to respect the rarity of quality coral. For the collector or designer who seeks distinction, this Italian orange coral is a discreet yet powerful statement, an heirloom ready to be entrusted to a new owner, and a rare chance to possess a wholly natural gem that will stand apart within any curated collection.
