1.99 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

From the cold blue of the Mediterranean seabed to your design table, this orange coral has traveled through time and tradition to reach its finished form. Harvested from Italian waters where coastal communities have gathered coral for centuries, the raw material carries the memory of tidal rhythms, artisanal hands, and a culture that revered coral as both adornment and amulet. In Italian workshops, master cutters and polishers coax gentle warmth from each piece, shaping natural, opaque coral into smooth cabochons that highlight the organic texture and depth of color. This 1.99 carat round coral, measuring 9.33 by 9.28 by 3.46 mm, embodies that lineage. Its medium intense orange hue and excellent polish speak to careful selection and respectful crafting, and because it has received no enhancement, every facet of its tone and character is authentically Mediterranean in origin.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor the heritage of coral, linking this stone to centuries of traditional uses where similar specimens became rosary beads, protective talismans, and bridal adornments across coastal Europe. The warm orange cabochon lends itself to classic settings, from bezel set rings and simple stud earrings to antique inspired lockets and rosary links, allowing the tactile feel of coral to remain front and center. The round shape and superb polish make it ideal for designs that celebrate smooth, luminous surfaces that catch light gently, enhancing skin tones without overpowering. Coral has long been associated with protection, healing, and good fortune, and this untreated Italian piece carries that cultural resonance into contemporary jewelry with honesty and grace. If you seek a naturally sourced, historically rich gemstone to anchor a personal heirloom or a modern statement piece, this coral promises a story as enduring as its color and as genuine as its origin.
