Corals and Cameos

My name is Rosalba Miele, I’m a goldsmith. I graduated in restoration of precious metals. I manufacture jewelry and behind every piece you’ll discover great attention to detail and materials. My collections originate from a passion for colours. I use a large amount of hard gemstones such as tourmaline, quartz, amethyst, olivine, citrine quartz, agate, onyx, lapis, and many more.

Since 1830, the year of its foundation, the Antonino De Simone firm has highly specialized in the workmanship of Mediterranean red coral. The raw material is bought in its rough state and then shaped and worked in the factory to be exported all over the world as a semi-finished product or as a finished jewel, as an authentic Made in Italy product of “Antonino De Simone”.

We manufacture and trade corals and cameos, throughout the whole production process, from raw material to semi-finished or finished products, which can be also mounted on silver or gold.

Cameo carving for jewelry manufacturing.

Our company has been carving cameos on shell for sixty years. We are also a manufacturing company: we start from raw shells, and after a number of artisanal manufacturing processes, including first layer removal, profile moulding, sketching, and final carving. We manufacture unique one-off jewels.

Parrino family’s coral is about tradition handed down from generation to generation.
