Description from the seller

## Handmade Shell Nativity Scene in Natural Turbo Gold Mouth Stripped Shell with Silvered Nativity – Made in Italy

Refined handmade Christmas nativity crafted in authentic natural Turbo Gold Mouth Stripped shell, enriched by a delicate representation of the Nativity with figures plated in silver and decorations in silver glitter.

An original creation that blends the natural beauty of marine shells with the Italian nativity tradition, giving life to a small masterpiece rich in charm and meaning.

The shell, with its characteristic spiral shape and delicate natural shading, becomes a striking setting for the Holy Family. Inside, the Nativity figures are carefully arranged on a base decorated with silver glitter, which adds brightness and evokes the magic of the Christmas holidays.

Each nativity scene is assembled and decorated by hand, highlighting the original forms and characteristics of the shell. The natural differences in color and form make every piece unique and unrepeatable.

### FEATURES

- Type: Handmade shell nativity scene
- Shell: Authentic natural Turbo Gold Mouth Stripped

### CAMPANIAN TRADITION AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

This small nativity scene represents the meeting of two important Campanian artisanal traditions: the shellwork, deeply linked to Torre del Greco, and the ancient Neapolitan nativity art.

The particular setting inside a real marine shell transforms the classic Nativity depiction into an original and sought-after decorative object.

The silver finishes and the delicate reflections of the glitter create a luminous atmosphere, while the shell preserves all the charm of its natural shapes.

### A SMALL Nativity Scene WITH GREAT MEANING

Thanks to its compact size, this nativity scene is perfect for display on shelves, furniture, desks, shop windows, or within a collection of handmade nativity scenes.

It is also a refined Christmas gift idea, especially suited for those who love handmade creations, religious decorations, and objects that tell the story of Italian tradition.

### PACKAGING AND SHIPMENT

The nativity scene will be carefully packaged with protective materials, paying particular attention to the delicacy of the shell and the decorative figures.

Fast, tracked, and insured shipping via professional couriers SDA or UPS.

### IMPORTANT NOTE

Being a real natural shell, slight color differences and variations in shape may occur, features that attest to the uniqueness of the material.

In some countries the import of certain marine shells may be restricted. Before placing a bid, the buyer is encouraged to check the current customs regulations in their country.

**A small jewel of Campanian craftsmanship, where the charm of the sea meets the magic of Christmas. A unique creation that preserves the beauty of the Nativity and the tradition of true Made in Italy.**

Seller's Story

My creations are born at the heart of Italy’s artisanal tradition in Torre del Greco, a world-renowned symbol for coral processing and cameo carving. Each piece of jewelry is the result of knowledge handed down through generations: the coral is carefully selected, the cameo hand-carved by master artisans, every detail refined according to techniques that belong to the history of Mediterranean jewelry art. I believe in authenticity, in natural materials and in the value of manual work. For this reason I offer only pieces that embody identity, culture and passion, pure expressions of Italian excellence. Each object is not just a piece of jewelry, but a fragment of tradition that continues to live on through time.
