SHAPE YOUR JEWEL

Sciacca Coral is perhaps the most mysterious coral found in nature, with unique origins and characteristics in the world. It comes from Ferdinandea Island, a submerged island that appears and disappears right off the coast of Sciacca, in the Sicilian Channel.
With the Coral Experience, you’ll step into our artisanal workshops and discover the ancient techniques of master coral craftsmen as they cut, file, and shape each tiny coral branch by hand.
Then, you’ll take over and craft your very own jewel using fossil coral, a completely eco-sustainable material.
