2.17 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

From the clear, cool waters of the Mediterranean coastline comes a story that begins long before any jeweler touches a tool, and this little red coral carries that history within its compact form. Harvested off the shores of Italy, this 2.17 carat round coral is a fragment of a living reef community, a product of slow, graceful growth and the salty light of a maritime landscape that has inspired Mediterranean artisans for centuries. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace each piece we offer from its source, and this cabochon has arrived to us untouched by heat or dye, entirely natural and unenhanced, its opaque body showing the quiet lines and organic textures only time and ocean can create. Skilled hands have shaped the rough material into a perfect round cabochon, preserving its character while revealing a vivid, saturated hue that reads as both noble and intimate, as if the sunlit sea itself were distilled and set into a jewel.

In the finished stone you will notice the dimensions that make it versatile and wearable, 9.16 x 9.15 x 3.76 mm, a balanced profile that sits confidently on a ring or pendant, and a polish so fine it seems to glow from within. The round shape and cabochon cut emphasize the coral’s even color and silky surface, allowing the rich, bold red to speak plainly as a symbol of personal power and distinction. This color is not loud for its own sake, it is dignified, it announces presence and intention, ideal for someone who values heritage, authenticity, and a refined statement. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this coral as a ready heartstone for bespoke design, a singular piece for a signet, a bezel, or a minimalist setting that lets the stone’s story be the centerpiece. Owning this coral is to carry a fragment of Mediterranean craft and meaning, a reminder that true distinction often comes from natural origin, careful creation, and the decision to wear beauty with purpose.
