4.78 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

Imagine holding a piece of the Mediterranean that has been shaped by centuries of sea and sky, presented to you as a rare collector grade gem from The Natural Gemstone Company. This exceptional coral is a marquise shaped cabochon, its silhouette elongating purposefully to highlight the stone s natural flow, and its surface finished to an excellent polish that catches light like a soft whisper. Weighing 4.78 carats, and measuring 21.36 x 8.87 x 3.93 millimeters, this coral sits at an ideal scale for either a singular signature ring, a refined pendant, or a bespoke set designed to accentuate its unique marquise outline. The interplay of salmon and white tones across its face is subtle but unmistakable, a medium light color intensity that lends it a quiet elegance rather than loud spectacle. Because this coral is opaque and cut en cabochon, the surface becomes the story, offering a tactile, luminous presence that is best appreciated in hand and in intimate light rather than under the glare of stage spotlights.

From a gemological perspective this piece is notable for its natural state, without enhancement, and for its Italian origin, a provenance that carries with it a storied tradition of Mediterranean coral appreciation and craftsmanship. Coral from Italy is prized for its delicate color palette and for the care taken by skilled cutters who understand how to coax beauty from organic material, rather than impose upon it. The marquise shape is a thoughtful choice, it preserves maximum material while creating a form that reads as both classical and contemporary. The cabochon cut emphasizes the coral s intrinsic texture and color flow, and the excellent polish achieved here speaks to the cutter s restraint and expertise. Medium light color intensity suggests versatile design possibilities, from warm yellow or rose gold settings that amplify the salmon hues, to cool white gold or platinum frames that allow the white tones to breathe. Because the piece is untreated, it is suited to connoisseurs who value natural rarity above artificial enhancement, collectors who seek authenticity, and designers aiming to produce heirloom pieces that age gracefully with provenance intact.

Owning this coral means joining a small circle of discerning collectors and patrons who appreciate natural rarity as an experience rather than a mere acquisition. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source and curate exceptional organic gems with the aim of presenting only those pieces that offer provenance, aesthetic integrity, and a capacity to inspire bespoke design. This marquise salmon and white coral is offered as a singular piece, and given its specific dimensions, weight, origin, cut style, and untreated nature, it is unlikely that an identical companion will surface again. We recommend custom mounting to protect the stone s exposed margins, thoughtful consideration of settings that elevate its narrow profile, and a warm metal palette that complements its soft tones. Care is straightforward, avoid prolonged exposure to extremes of heat and chemicals, clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed, and store separately to preserve its polished surface.

If you would like a private viewing, detailed imaging at multiple angles, or assistance in designing a setting that will both protect and accentuate the coral s unique personality, The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to guide you through each step, from bespoke design options to secure delivery and certification. This is not a commodity, it is a conversation between the sea s slow hand and a craftsman s eye, preserved for you in a singular marquise cabochon that invites care, admiration, and ownership by those who recognize true rarity. Owning it places you among an elite group who value natural origin, unenhanced integrity, and the enduring story that only a piece of Italian coral can convey.
