13.45 Ct. Coral from Italy

It is my pleasure to present a singular treasure from The Natural Gemstone Company, a meticulously carved and captivating coral cameo, offered as an object of genuine distinction. This piece is an opaque salmon and white coral, weighing 13.45 carat, presented in an elegant oval shape with precise dimensions of 30.20 x 22.71 x 4.79 mm. The carving cut reveals a classical relief, a restrained and refined profile rendered with exceptional skill, and the surface bears an excellent polish that catches the eye without ostentation. Color intensity is medium, allowing the warm salmon ground to frame the luminous white portrait with a natural and graceful contrast. This coral is offered without enhancement, a pure expression of nature and artisanry, and its origin in Italy situates it within a revered tradition of Mediterranean gem carving. From the moment you hold it, the balance between material and workmanship speaks to a lineage of taste that is both cultivated and unforced.

The artistry of this cameo is where provenance and refinement converge. Italian coral has long been celebrated for its tonal depth and for the exceptional artisans who coax narrative and form from living stone. Here the two tone interplay between salmon and white becomes the language of elegance, the white relief floating above a warm salmon field, and the carving cut demonstrates restraint and authority. Every contour of the profile is purposeful, from the gentle sweep of hair, to the noble line of the neck, to the subtle treatment of shoulders and drapery. The medium color intensity ensures the coral will read beautifully in natural and gallery lighting, offering a presence that flatters without dominating. The excellent polish serves as the final act of refinement, enhancing tactile pleasure and visual depth while preserving the integrity of the carving. For the discerning collector who seeks an item that conveys heritage, discernment, and impeccable taste, this cameo is an unequivocal statement.

In practical terms this coral cameo is eminently adaptable to elevated jewelry concepts. The oval proportions and measured thickness make it ideal for a bespoke ring, a statement pendant, or an heirloom brooch, each setting allowing the cameo to be the principal protagonist of a composition. Consider classics such as a gold bezel with a fine milgrain edge, a minimal platinum setting that lets the carving breathe, or a framed mount enlivened by a single row of brilliant accent stones, each option reinforcing the object as a piece of wearable art. Because this coral is natural and unenhanced, it carries a clarity of origin and value that connoisseurs prize, and its medium durability rewards careful design with long term elegance. The measurements of 30.20 x 22.71 x 4.79 mm allow for precise planning of prongs, bezels, and supporting elements, and the weight of 13.45 carat provides substantial presence without excess. As a curator of fine materials I recommend consultation with our design team for a bespoke setting that respects the cameo, optimizes comfort, and showcases the coral in a manner consistent with the owner s personal aesthetic.
