Artisan Nativity Scene in a Natural Turbo Imperialis Banded Large Shell with Silver Nativity – Made in Italy
Refined handcrafted Christmas nativity scene made in authentic natural Turbo Imperialis banded large shell, embellished with a suggestive representation of the Holy Nativity with silver-plated figures and delicate decorations in silver glitter.
An original creation that blends the beauty of marine shells with Neapolitan nativity tradition, turning a natural element into a small decorative masterpiece.
The shell stands out for its distinctive spiral shape, natural shading, and characteristic surface, which give the object authentic charm.
Inside comes to life a delicate Nativity scene, with silver-plated figures resting on a sparkling base. The reflections of the glitter create a luminous and evocative atmosphere, recalling the magic of the Christmas season.
Each piece is assembled and hand-decorated, highlighting the shell’s original features and making every creation unique and unrepeatable.

The natural shapes of the shell, together with the silvered figures and the delicate glitter reflections, create an elegant balance between nature, art, and spirituality.
An object that embodies creativity, tradition, and passion for true Italian craftsmanship.

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.
