Workshop: Art, experience and competence.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see at first hand all the stages and transformations a branch of coral undergoes to become the final product. It reaches us just as it was harvested with a dusty vest and it is washed, cut and slightly rounded and the smallest pieces are shaped according to their final use so beads, cabs , drops and hearts are strung or mounted on earrings, rings , on brooches and pendants but we also produce customized pieces,
Moreover, to the traditional coral processing techniques, perfectly handcrafted, slow, laborious and labor-intensive, we combine the use of the latest generation machines for high precision and taylor-made cuts, requested by the most renowned international jewelry brands. Despite the great technical progress, the activity remaines eco-sustainable, does not emitt toxic waste, harmful to the environment and has a high respect also for the protection of the marine ecosystem; in fact, Coral fishing in the Mediterranean Sea is strictly controlled and is only carried out by a small number of expert divers who harvest only the biggest branches.
