0.73 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

As a specialist with many years working with natural materials, I am pleased to introduce this beautiful opaque 0.73 carat marquise shape orange coral from Italy, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. At 9.91 x 4.86 x 2.53 mm this cabochon cut gem displays a balanced size that fits elegantly into rings, pendants, and custom designer settings, and its marquise silhouette gives a modern elongation that flatters both contemporary and classic designs. Compared with faceted alternatives, cabochon coral maximizes the innate warmth and satiny luster of organic material, avoiding awkward light leakage while showcasing consistent color across the surface, and the medium color intensity of this piece reads as a natural, wearable orange that complements many skin tones. Unlike common market coral that has been dyed, stabilized, or otherwise enhanced, this specimen is completely natural with no enhancement, offering collectors and designers a superior provenance and peace of mind about long term stability and value.

In the current market many sellers offer coral that sacrifices origin or treatment clarity for lower price, but Italian coral carries a reputation for fine color and historical desirability that adds intangible value to any piece. This coral is finished to an excellent polish, a level of craftsmanship that elevates appearance and makes it stand out next to mass market alternatives that often have inferior surface quality or uneven shaping. When you compare cost per carat and long term rarity, an unenhanced Italian marquise cabochon of this size represents excellent value, because treatments and synthetic substitutions have become more common and those options usually lack the authentic depth and tactile appeal native coral provides. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind every natural characteristic stated, and we can advise on setting suggestions that protect and highlight the piece, such as bezel styles or softened prong mounts, to preserve its polish and contour. If you are choosing a gemstone that communicates elegance, authenticity, and enduring style, this orange coral outperforms many market alternatives, and I am available to discuss matching stones or bespoke mounting ideas to make this gem the centerpiece of a memorable design.
