1.63 Ct. Coral from Italy

Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this exquisite Italian coral cameo embodies the quiet grandeur of an heirloom reborn, a piece that confers distinction the moment it is held. We offer one beautiful opaque salmon and white coral, weighing 1.63 carat, rendered in an elegant oval silhouette that measures 13.95 by 10.21 by 2.25 millimeters. The piece is carved with a refined cameo relief that captures the classical profile in delicate low relief, the white coral figure rising against a warm salmon ground. Its medium color intensity produces a soft, inviting glow that flatters both warm and cool metals, and the excellent polish manifests as a satiny sheen that catches light with a restrained, sophisticated shimmer. This coral is entirely natural, untreated, and of Italian origin, a provenance that speaks to centuries of Mediterranean tradition in coral jewelry and carving.

The carving cut exhibits exceptional artistry, each curl of hair and contour of the profile rendered with precise, confident strokes that reveal the cutter s mastery of material and form. The contrast between the creamy white cameo and the salmon background is natural and balanced, creating a gentle chiaroscuro that enhances the piece s three dimensionality without overpowering it. Because this coral has received no enhancement, its surface retains the authentic tactile warmth and organic depth that only a genuine natural coral can provide. Its compact dimensions and understated presence make it ideal for a variety of settings, from a refined ring or pendant to a bespoke brooch that anchors evening attire. Pair it with warm 18 karat gold for a classical, sunlit ensemble, or set it in softly brushed platinum to emphasize its antique, museum quality appeal. The excellent polish ensures smooth edges and a finished feel that invites touch, while the carving cut enables the cameo to read beautifully in both intimate daylight and the softer illumination of evening.
