Every detail tells centuries of tradition
The finest shells from the Caribbean, Mozambique and Madagascar are carefully selected for their quality and chromatic layering.
Our master engravers create the design directly on the shell, interpreting tradition with contemporary creativity.
With traditional tools, the artisan brings the relief to life, exploiting the natural layers of the shell.
The cameo is set in precious gold settings, creating unique and unrepeatable jewelry.
