As a gemstone specialist and your trusted guide, I want to highlight why these technical details matter to your needs. The weight of 17.64 carats and the dimensions of 30.46 by 23.04 by 4.88 millimeters place this coral in a size range that is ideal for a prominent pendant, a statement ring, or a brooch that commands attention without overpowering. The carving cut is not merely decorative, it is the expression of artisan work that transforms coral into wearable art. The salmon and white coloration indicates natural biogenic layering, which is particularly prized in cameos for its ability to render fine relief and delicate facial and floral details. Medium color intensity means the piece will pair beautifully with warm metals and soft settings, allowing the white carved relief to float above the salmon field with a refined contrast. Excellent polish enhances surface smoothness and luster, making the piece comfortable to wear and visually luminous. The absence of any enhancement is a key assurance for collectors who value untouched natural material, and Italian origin adds provenance that collectors and connoisseurs prize.

Imagine the ways this coral can resolve your search for the perfect piece. For an engagement or a romantic gift the cameo can be set in a halo of warm gold to echo the salmon tones, or it can be placed within a vintage inspired mount to celebrate the carved profile and its storytelling presence. For a collector the coral represents a documented natural specimen with authentic origin and no treatments, a rarity in a market where many corals are dyed or impregnated. If your priority is wearable art the carving cut and excellent polish ensure that the cameo wears smoothly against the skin and maintains its beauty over time. If provenance and natural character matter most, this piece arrives straight from Italy, a birthplace of celebrated coral craftsmanship, adding cultural and historical resonance to your collection.
