The store, designed by Claudia and Mirta, resembles a small spaceship parked in the heart of the old city. Each creation is unique. The gold, practically always worked with techniques capable of rendering it similar to silk, is white, yellow, red but also green. The metal, made more precious with diamonds, also embraces hard stones and crystal, cut in ways to highlight its natural glow. The results are modern and unique jewels of timeless attraction, already greatly appreciated abroad.

Cornelia Paola Micheletto was born and bred in a family of four generations of jewelers. Having scant interest in academic studies, in 1989 she opened with a partner a jewelry store "I Gracchi". The subsequent years were golden ones for her, finally free to express her creativity. After 12 years, however, destiny brought a separation and Paola, being sentimental at heart, decided to leave "I Gracchi" and open instead "Cornelia" to provide continuation for her creativity. Green and fuchsia are the colors of the store, which has some brick decorations and a large crystal chandelier. Bizarre and eclectic, each piece has its own story, like the branches of coral found by chance and mounted with diamonds as earrings. Unusual pieces are made with materials such as wood, ebony, stone, antique Chinese lacquer, and finally ivory and ebony "teeth" mounted in white gold are dedicated to men of spirit and humor.
