1.04 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

From the cool, crystalline waters off the Italian coast to the soft glow in your hands, this coral tells a quiet Mediterranean story, a narrative that The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to share. Born in the gentle currents and sheltered coves where time moves with salt and sun, this piece of salmon and white coral carries the memory of ocean floor gardens nurtured over years. One beautiful opaque 1.04 carat round shape salmon and white coral rests beneath a flawless cabochon dome. Its dimensions are 6.62 x 6.64 x 3.52 mm, its color shows a medium intensity that whispers rather than shouts, and its polish is excellent. Enhancement no enhancement. Origin Italy. The round cabochon form respects the material, preserving its original character and amplifying the inner softness that is unique to this coral.

In the hands of skilled cutters the raw coral was guided into a calm, harmonious shape, a perfect round that mirrors the horizon line where sea meets sky. The cabochon cut was chosen intentionally to celebrate the coral not as a faceted spectacle but as a smooth, luminous presence, a tactile gem that invites touch. The gentle dome allows light to play across the surface, revealing subtle salmon blushes that merge into creamy white, creating depth and a feeling of warmth. With its precise dimensions and balanced weight at 1.04 carat, this gem wears with ease in a variety of settings, from a delicate ring to a pendant that rests over the heart. Each polish stroke was applied to achieve a mirror like finish, so the coral answers every movement with a soft, reflective smile.

There is a romance woven into the tone of this coral, a story of morning light on the Ligurian sea, when fishermen and lovers alike greeted a new day with hope. The salmon and white palette reads like the first gentle flush on a cheek at the moment of true affection, a blush shared between two people standing quietly at the edge of the water. In Mediterranean lore coral has long been held as a token of protection and devotion, carried by mothers for their children and gifted as a promise between sweethearts, and this natural, unenhanced specimen holds that old world sentiment in its very fibers. Wearing it is like keeping a small piece of a sunset close, a vow rendered in soft color, a reminder that tenderness can be as strong and enduring as the sea.
