0.78 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

From the cool Mediterranean waters that cradle Italy comes a small treasure that carries centuries of coastal tradition, this orange coral began as part of a living reef, shaped slowly over time by nature into a dense, vibrant material prized by artisans for generations. Gathered with respect for the sea by experienced collectors, each piece is chosen for its natural color and integrity, then gently transported to our workshop where the real conversation between craftsman and coral begins. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace this specimen back to its origin in Italy, and we value the story embedded in every curve and hue, a story of ocean current and light, of hands that understood how to reveal the coral without altering its essence.

The gem you see is a single opaque round coral, 0.78 carat, measuring 6.48 x 6.41 x 2.69 mm, cut as a classic cabochon to showcase that warm orange tone with medium color intensity and an excellent polish that catches light in a soft glow. No enhancements have been applied, which means the beauty you appreciate is entirely natural, a quality that matters to collectors and designers who demand authenticity. The round shape and cabochon cut emphasize the coral density and surface luster, making it ideal for settings that celebrate its Mediterranean origins, whether mounted as a solitary stud, a delicate pendant, or grouped with complementary gems. At The Natural Gemstone Company we hand inspect each facet of the piece, ensuring the cut proportions are balanced, the polish is flawless, and the color reads true under varied lighting conditions, so you receive a coral that communicates both history and refinement. For those who cherish provenance and honest material, this Italian coral offers a quiet narrative, a connection to coastal craft, and a timeless warmth that translates effortlessly into wearable art.
