This exquisite opaque orange coral presents itself as a study in refined warmth, a 0.78 carat round cabochon measuring 6.48 x 6.41 x 2.69 mm, a perfect balance of presence and poise. Its medium color intensity radiates a natural, coral red that sits between soft blush and vivid flame, a hue that captures the Mediterranean sun from its Italian provenance. The cabochon cut enhances that gentle glow, the excellent polish creating a satin mirror that invites touch without the glare of faceting, and the stone arrives to you in an entirely natural state, no enhancement. Sourced from Italy, this gem carries with it the storied craftsmanship and coastal heritage of its origin, an heirloom quality that the discerning collector can appreciate. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this coral is an object of desire, an intimate declaration of taste for those who prefer subtle luxury and authenticity.
When considering durability, it is important to know that coral is an organic gem with a position on the Mohs hardness scale of approximately 3 to 4, most commonly close to 3, which means it is softer than minerals such as quartz at 7, topaz at 8, sapphire at 9, and diamond at 10. This relative softness does not diminish its value, it simply guides how the gem is worn and cared for, and it is precisely this tactile, organic quality that makes coral so covetable. For longevity, we recommend settings that offer protection, such as bezels or pendants, and uses in earrings or brooches where impact is minimal. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, prolonged heat, and ultrasonic or steam cleaners, and store the piece separately in a soft pouch to prevent abrasion. Clean gently with a soft damp cloth to preserve the polish and color. Owning this Italian coral from The Natural Gemstone Company is an achievement in refined taste, a rare natural treasure that speaks of sophistication and quiet confidence, perfect for the collector who values authenticity and the soft luminous beauty of a gem that carries both story and style.
