1.10 Ct. Salmon (Orange) Cabochon Coral from Italy

This 1.10 carat Italian coral presents as an oval cabochon with precise dimensions of 9.15 x 7.05 x 2.54 mm, opaque body color, and a classic dome profile that emphasizes surface color and luster. Crafted with traditional cabochon techniques, the top curve exhibits balanced symmetry and an even dome height that maximizes visual saturation, while the pavilion has been shaped to ensure a stable seat in a bezel or low prong setting. The surface finish is of excellent polish, producing a mirror like reflection that highlights the coral matrix and any subtle banding inherent to natural material. Color grade is vivid, leaning toward a true salmon orange, with uniform saturation and minimal tone fluctuation across the table. No enhancement has been applied, the piece is natural and untreated, and origin is documented as Italy, which is known for producing tightly grained Mediterranean coral with appealing warm hues. The material shows the fine amorphous structure typical of gem quality coral, lending the stone both tactile warmth and visual depth that differ from crystalline gem materials.

In application the stone s vibrant salmon color will assert a focal presence in any jewelry setting, creating a strong color statement even at a modest 1.10 carat weight. When set in high contrast metals such as white gold or platinum, the warm orange becomes more vivid, while yellow gold will harmonize with the tonal warmth for a vintage inspired aesthetic. The cabochon profile is ideal for bezel or rub over settings which protect the organic surface, and the measured dome and excellent polish allow the coral to catch light in soft broad highlights rather than facet sparkle, so designers can pair it with fine melee diamonds or brushed metal planes to create deliberate contrast. For collectors and designers seeking integrity of material and provenance, The Natural Gemstone Company provides this Italian coral with documented no enhancement status, consistent color saturation, and workmanship that respects the organic nature of the gem, ensuring it will stand out as a singular color accent in bespoke rings, pendants, and statement earrings.
