About Ulera

FOSSIL CORAL

The fascination of history, the magic of coral and the rare, preciousness of a stone unique in all the world: the Coral of Sciacca.

1875 brought the discovery, from the breadths of the Mediterranean, of the island of Ferdinandea, a piece of volcanic land that still to this day continues to gift the fruits of its explosion: a fossil coral with exceptional colouration, differing from branch to branch. Shades ranging from quite most pale to the most intense salmon-pink, and to make it even more unique there are occasional nuances ranging from yellow to brown and finally to black.

ITALIAN JEWELRY EXCELLENCE AND CONTEMPORARY STYLE

CONTI CREATIONS
A rigorously artisanal jewelry craftsmanship which recovers the ancient traditional techniques.

MONICA STASI AND ELISABETTA MELOTTI
Fashion design meets Sicilian artisanship.

The techniques of processing a priceless stone, such as the coral of Sciacca, have been handed down over time from generation to generation, until today where they find their highest expression, in the excellence of the manufacturing goldsmith: Laboratory Conti. Born of the will of its founder, Giuseppe Conti, to preserve the old techniques of making corals, this laboratory is one of the rare goldsmiths-corollaries centers capable of giving life to the beauty of the coral.
The Ulera Creations combine coral, a stone whose value has been well-recognized since ancient times, with the modern taste of Elisabetta Melotti and Monica Stasi, designers with a lot of well-established experience. The travel research, studies of the latest fashion trends and the observation of trends in vogue in the fashion industry have become the fulcrum around which to develop a new outlook on the jewel.

SOCIAL CONTRACT

An important social project that conjugates luxury, fashion and jewels with simplicity.

The intricate designs, the fine needlework-like play of macramè which creates earrings, necklaces and bracelets, is the result of the ability of women of La Venenta, a cooperative of recovery of women in difficulty and of their children. An important opportunity of ransom, driven with love and professionalism from competent experts.
The social responsibility and the production of the luxury, in this way, create objects with a depth value and an inevitable involvement.
