4.62 Ct. Coral from Italy

This elegant oval salmon and white coral, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a 4.62 carat natural coral carving, with measurements 18.13 x 13.29 x 3.84 mm, an opaque body, medium intense color, and an excellent polish. The piece displays classic cameo carving where the white coral layer is skillfully raised against a warm salmon background, creating a crisp silhouette and fine detail that mass produced or molded cameos rarely achieve. Unlike dyed or stabilized corals commonly found in the market, this example is free of enhancement, preserving the original Italian color and structure, and giving collectors and jewelers a piece that is authentic and responsibly sourced. The dimensions and weight make this coral versatile enough for a ring or a small pendant, while the thickness and polish provide durability and a refined finish that outperforms thinner or poorly finished cabochons.

Compared with alternative materials, this Italian coral carving offers superior natural contrast compared with single tone shell cameos, and it avoids the artificial look of reconstituted or synthetic coral. Many commercial corals are heat treated, dyed, or assembled from fragments to meet lower price points, but those shortcuts reduce longevity and resale value, and they diminish the tactile richness of a true hand carved gem. This coral stands out for its genuine origin, hand carving, and unaltered surface, delivering a premium combination of beauty and integrity. For designers seeking a warm, classic palette, this piece pairs exceptionally well with yellow gold or rose gold settings, and for collectors it represents a rare find among modern offerings. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this coral as a superior option for those who value natural provenance and artisanal carving, offering an item that holds its aesthetic and material value better than many treated or imitation alternatives.
