6.54 Ct. Coral from Italy

This item is a carved coral cameo, presented as an opaque oval of fine texture and classic proportions. The piece weighs 6.54 carats and measures 18.07 by 13.12 by 4.45 millimeters, offering a substantial face suitable for setting in rings, pendants, or brooches. The material displays a two-tone presentation, with a warm salmon ground and a contrasting white relief which forms the carved subject. The cutting style is a carving cut, executed with careful attention to relief and line, resulting in defined contours and delicate hair detail in the profile motif. Color intensity is assessed as medium, providing a balanced saturation that reads well under standard lighting, and the polish is excellent, yielding a smooth surface on both the background and raised elements. No enhancements have been applied to this coral, and its natural, untreated character contributes to its stable color and surface condition.

The origin of the coral is Italy, a historical source known for producing high quality Mediterranean coral and for a longstanding tradition of cameo carving. This example reflects that heritage through its proportionate oval format and the fine proportion between ground and relief. The piece is well suited to classical and refined jewelry designs where the integrity of natural material and artisanal carving are priorities. Measurements and weight are provided for accurate planning of mount and setting, and the lack of enhancement simplifies considerations for care and appraisal. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this coral cameo with documentation of its characteristics and origin upon request, and supports inquiries regarding setting recommendations, conservation advice for organic gem materials, and compatibility with various mounting techniques.
