1.64 Ct. Salmon (Orange) Cabochon Coral from Italy

This exquisite oval salmon coral evokes the enduring romance of the Mediterranean, a gem whose warm hue and organic origin have been prized since antiquity. We present a 1.64 carat, opaque cabochon cut coral from Italy, measuring 10.19 by 7.92 by 3.06 mm, with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. The soft, luminous surface of the cabochon emphasizes the stone s natural depth and uniform tone, recalling the rosier treasures worn by ancient mariners and classical civilizations. As a classic oval cabochon, this coral carries a timeless elegance that translates seamlessly from heirloom jewelry to contemporary designs, offering a sense of legacy that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs who seek beauty anchored in history.

Despite its organic composition, this coral is admirably suited to thoughtful daily wear when set and cared for appropriately. The cabochon profile and superior polish reduce surface vulnerability by minimizing exposed edges, and the dense, even texture of this Italian piece lends a reassuring resilience in everyday settings. For rings and bracelets we recommend protective bezel or halo settings that shield the stone from direct knocks, while pendants and earrings are especially excellent choices for those who desire daily presence with lowered exposure to abrasion. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning, and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to preserve the stone s warm glow. This coral has no enhancement, a testament to its natural beauty and integrity, and under normal, mindful wear it will retain its vivid salmon color and smooth sheen. The Natural Gemstone Company proudly offers this rare, untreated Italian coral for those who value tradition, craftsmanship, and enduring style, and we stand ready to advise on the ideal setting to make this classic gem a lasting centerpiece in your collection.
