The workshop that transforms the treasures of the sea into jewels

From the branch...

The coral gatherer holds a selective fishing permit issued by the maritime prefect. He or she acquires the essential know-how needed to harvest red coral while preserving the seabed.

It's deep and dangerous fishing, long and conscientious, from 40 to 120 m.
When he's finished fishing, he brings up his basket of coral. The ascent is a crucial stage, and takes about 3 hours in stages.

...to the pearl

The coral is then cleaned of all impurities. It is then dried and blunted, before being transformed into unique jewels at L'atelier du Corail.

Our history

Jonas is a coral fisherman between Marseille & Cassis. Gaëlle, his wife, is a jewelry designer. Together, they built this wonder shop. L'atelier du Corail is conceived as a link between what happens under and above the water. Together, they share a passion born of a love story.
