89.96 Ct. Coral from Italy

Since time immemorial, coral has been revered as an emblem of protection and wisdom, cherished by civilizations from ancient Rome to imperial China. The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents a stunning example of this tradition—a beautiful opaque 89.96 carat salmon and white coral. Sourced from the storied shores of Italy, this exquisite piece evokes the ageless allure of the Mediterranean, where coral has symbolized the enduring relationship between nature and man. Our coral is more than a gemstone; it is a relic preserved in stone, embodying the grandeur of nature's most intricate artistry.

The sculpted form of this coral specimen highlights its artisan craftsmanship, brought to life with a masterful carving cut. Measuring 52.33 by 35.65 by 10.10 millimeters, it is a testament to the gemcutter's art—each curvature and divot expertly fashioned to accentuate its natural beauty. Its medium color intensity carries sophisticated hues of salmon and white, hues that resonate with the historical value placed on coral, a favorite of Cleopatra and later a staple of Victorian-era jewelry. These colors are reminiscent of the vibrant underwater galleries where coral thrives, each piece a miniature seascape curated over centuries.

Perhaps the most compelling feature of this rare coral is its ability to complement a myriad of skin tones when set in jewelry. The interplay between salmon and white hues harmonizes seamlessly with warm undertones, offering a radiant blush that enhances natural skin hues. For those with cooler skin tones, the coral presents a soft luminosity, adding a fresh vibrancy that speaks to a subtle sophistication. Imagine this piece as a statement necklace or in a pair of elegant earrings, where its classic design meets the ethnic charms of age-old times. The timelessness of coral ensures that its allure persists, versatile yet singular, able to adapt to modern sensibilities while remaining rooted in a rich legacy.
