3.08 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

There are stones that whisper, stones that sing, and then there is this marquise of red coral that seems to hum a secret melody meant only for two heartbeats. Imagine the soft glow of an Italian dawn distilled into a jewel, a compact flame held between thumb and forefinger, alive with a vividness that refuses to be shy. This 3.08 carat marquise shaped coral measures 15.37 x 6.94 x 4.11 mm and is cut en cabochon to reveal its satiny surface, an opaque treasure with an excellent polish that catches light and memory alike. Sourced from Italy and carried to you by The Natural Gemstone Company, this coral is free from enhancement, pure in origin and intent, a rare coral specimen whose color intensity reads like a promise written in pigment. When you hold it close, the rounded symmetry of the cabochon invites the fingertips to linger, and the marquise silhouette leans toward the poetic, suggesting an arrow or a pair of lovers meeting at a single point.

As an engagement gem this marquise coral offers a different language from the familiar sparkle, a warm eloquence that speaks of devotion rather than display. The elongated shape, so elegant at 15.37 mm in length and 6.94 mm across, crowns the finger with a slender flourish, flattering the hand and drawing the eye along gentle curves. The cabochon cut softens the stone, transforming its vivid red into a glowing field of color, a polished surface that reflects light as a calm sea reflects sunrise. With dimensions of 15.37 x 6.94 x 4.11 mm and a weight of 3.08 carat, this coral sits comfortably in many settings, particularly a low profile bezel or a sculpted custom mount that cradles the curve while allowing the marquise points to assert their quiet drama. Because it is opaque and impeccably polished, the piece becomes about color and form, about the warmth of touch and the hush of committed words, rather than about scintillation alone. No enhancement assures that every nuance of hue is natural, and that every glance at the jewel will remind you of genuine provenance and thoughtful selection.

The romance of red coral is old as ocean tides, woven into the myths of protection, passion, and permanence. Choosing this stone for an engagement ring is to choose a narrative that is both bold and intimate, a talisman that holds the energy of the Mediterranean and the craft of generations. Envision a ring where the marquise coral is embraced by a seat of warm gold, perhaps a rose or yellow warmth that complements the coral tone, or set within a halo of tiny accent stones to frame its color without stealing focus. Picture a minimalist band that lets the jewel speak, or a hand engraved shank that tells your story in delicate lines. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to help design such a ring, combining our knowledge of stones with artisans who can translate sentiment into metal. Our specialists will advise on proportions so that the 3.08 carat marquise rests in harmony with finger size, and so that the 15.37 x 6.94 x 4.11 mm profile becomes a natural extension of the person who will wear it.

To offer this red coral as an engagement option is to propose an alternative romance, one that values warmth and history, color and touch, authenticity and provenance.

We at The Natural Gemstone Company take pride in sourcing unenhanced, honest gems, and this marquise cabochon is a perfect example of how natural features can translate into enduring symbolism. If you seek a ring that will be remembered not for a trend but for a feeling, this coral invites you to imagine a proposal at dusk, a hand offered with a jewel that glows like a quiet promise. Let us guide you in setting this stone into a ring that will become part of your shared history, a jewel that will be polished by time and stories, their shine as real and heartfelt as the coral itself.
