The current collection has to do with his coral obsession, and it’s really a wonderful collection that showcases the diversity and beauty of coral, as utilized by skilled craftsmen. Whether from Italy or Taiwan, there are so many wonderful pieces to choose from - from medallions to necklaces and earrings, boxes of shark's fin combined with sculpted coral, and so on. The intricacy, and attention to detail, are all very impressive. One can call Mimi at 09178386464 to make an appointment. Perfect timing with Valentine’s Day coming up, and the collection is for viewing until the end of February.
