TIMELESS SEDUCTION

MARCH 20 – JULY 1, 2015

Along a suggestive tradition and innovation path, the exhibition presents over 100 jewels : sets, necklaces, bracelets, brooches and cameos, extracted from the rarest, most prestigious materials found in the sea and transformed into splendid jewels by companies in Torre del Greco, some founded over a hundred years old. A project valorising the productive skills of Italy's main district working corals, cameos and pearls and one of the best known in the world.
