13.41 Ct. Coral from Italy

When you are searching for a truly singular piece that ends the hunt for the perfect gemstone, whether you are designing an unconventional engagement ring, assembling a one of a kind collector s cabinet, or crafting heirloom jewelry that will be loved for generations, this Italian orange coral from The Natural Gemstone Company answers that call. This is an opaque coral weighing 13.41 carat, presented in a variety of curated shapes with a dominant drops cut that showcases a sensuous teardrop silhouette. The dimensions are 7.00 x 4.00 x 3.00 mm, a size that balances presence with wearable elegance. The color intensity is vivid, a warm and saturated orange that reads as both vibrant and refined, and the surface enjoys an excellent polish that catches and softly reflects light. Importantly for discerning buyers, this coral has undergone no enhancement, and its origin is Italy, a source historically prized for fine Mediterranean corals. If you are looking for authenticity, natural beauty, and a stone that carries story and provenance, this coral is an exceptional answer to that need.

Visually and physically this coral offers qualities that make it adaptable to many design solutions, fulfilling the need for both striking center stones and complementary accent components in layered designs. The vivid orange hue lends itself beautifully to warm metal palettes, such as yellow gold and rose gold, where the color will sing with vintage glamour, yet it also provides a striking contrast when set in classic white gold or platinum for a modern statement. The drops cut is ideal for pendants and drop earrings, allowing the teardrop shape to swing freely and display its polished surface, while the variety of shapes included in this lot means you can choose matched pairs for symmetrical designs or mix sizes for organic, cascading arrangements. For an engagement ring, consider a low bezel for protection and a gentle halo of small diamonds to amplify the warmth and add brilliance without overpowering the coral s innate glow. For collectors, the combination of substantial carat weight and compact, elegant dimensions makes these pieces excellent both as display specimens and as elements in bespoke collections.

Beyond aesthetics, the provenance and treatment status of a gemstone are often the decisive factors for collectors and clients who want their purchase to be meaningful and enduring, and this coral meets those requirements. Sourced from Italy, a region with a long history of coral harvesting and artisan finishing, each piece bears the character of careful selection and skilled lapidary work, reflected in the excellent polish and the integrity of the material. The lack of enhancement confirms that the color and surface finish are natural, a point that adds value and reassurance when you select a stone for a milestone piece. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind our sourcing practices and our expertise in organic gems, and we are prepared to provide further details on origin documentation or to arrange viewing and certification through trusted independent labs upon request. For the client who seeks rarity without compromise, an untreated Italian coral with vivid color and precise drops cutting represents a satisfying resolution to the search for something both beautiful and authentic.

Caring for and designing with coral requires a gentle approach, and we are here to guide you through every step so your piece remains treasured across time. Coral is organic and softer than many mined gemstones, so everyday wear for rings should be thoughtfully considered, with protective settings and occasional professional checks advised to preserve polish and shape. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, acids, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged high heat, and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed. If you are creating a bespoke item, we can recommend settings and metal choices that maximize durability and aesthetic impact, and we can coordinate matched accent stones such as small diamonds, pearls, or sapphires that will complement the coral s vivid orange without distracting from it. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company for personalized assistance, to request additional photos and precise measurements, or to discuss custom mounting and design proposals. Allow us to help you conclude the search for the perfect coral, with a natural, untreated Italian treasure that resolves your need for beauty, provenance, and enduring elegance.
