0.68 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

One beautiful opaque red coral, 0.68 carat, round shape, with dimensions 7.19 x 7.25 x 2.00 mm, offers a compact and highly wearable size for a range of jewelry settings. The cabochon cut emphasizes a smooth domed profile and continuous surface, while the vivid color intensity presents a clear, saturated red that is both lively and uniform across the table. The excellent polish produces a soft, satiny luster that reflects light evenly without faceting, revealing the coral material in a refined and controlled manner. This specimen is natural and untreated, enhancement free, and its documented origin in Italy contributes a specific and valued provenance that speaks to traditional collection regions and established material quality. At 0.68 carat and with a precise round outline, this coral is well suited to use as a center stone in a minimalist ring, a delicate pendant, or matched with complementary stones in bespoke designs, while the cabochon profile facilitates secure bezel and prong settings.

Over the years this piece will maintain and even deepen its appeal through simple, appropriate care and considered use. As an organic gem, natural red coral responds best to protection from harsh chemicals, prolonged exposure to high heat, and abrasive cleaners, while routine cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water will preserve the surface polish and color intensity. Proper storage away from hard stones and direct sunlight, and periodic inspection of the setting by a trained jeweler, will ensure that the attractive dome and even color remain as striking as when first set. The documented Italian origin and the absence of enhancement mean that its color and texture are intrinsic properties rather than the result of treatment, qualities that enhance provenance value and encourage long term appreciation. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this coral as a responsibly sourced natural specimen, prepared and presented to highlight its enduring aesthetic. With attentive handling and customary maintenance, this red coral will continue to captivate through its pure color, refined cabochon form, and classic round silhouette, suitable for generation to generation ownership and continued admiration.
