69.61 Ct. Coral from Italy

From the cool, storied waters off the Italian coastline to the bench of a master cutter, this collection of drop shaped orangish red coral tells a quiet story of the sea. Each piece is opaque, with a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that catches the light like a memory of sunset. The lot totals 69.61 carat, with individual drops averaging 10.00 by 5.50 by 3.00 mm, and no enhancement applied, a testament to the natural purity of its origin in Italy. Our cutters respected the coral s innate curves, preserving organic contours while creating a uniform drops cut that is both classic and versatile. The surface polish reveals warm, living tones that have been treasured through Mediterranean traditions, and each drop carries slight variations that make every finished design uniquely personal.

At The Natural Gemstone Company these drops are presented as a canvas for custom jewelry, ready to be transformed into a wide variety of settings. They sit perfectly as solitaire pendants, where a single teardrop becomes an intimate focal point. Pairing two or three drops creates balanced linked pendants or asymmetric earring sets that move with elegance. Small bezel or prong set clusters create vintage inspired brooches or cocktail rings, while rows of drops lend themselves to articulated bracelet links or chandelier style earrings, catching light with every motion. For modern minimalists, flush inlay work or sleek bezel bars in silver, rose gold, or 18k yellow gold offer a contemporary statement. The uniform dimensions make them ideal for matched pairs in stud or drop earrings, and the warm orangish red lends contrast to cool metals or harmony with warm tones. For bespoke commissions we can mix these drops with accent diamonds, seed pearls, or carved details to craft heirloom pieces, or string them for classic bead work that honors traditional Italian coral jewelry.
