Your memories are precious
In the heart of Calvi, a family shop where every piece has been chosen — and where we take the time to tell you its story.
Four families, four stories
Behind every object lies a material, a tradition and a craft. Choose where to begin.
Jewellery
From steel to solid gold, the Corsican symbols and the guarantee struck into the metal.
Red coral
A noble Mediterranean material, worn since antiquity against the evil eye.
Saint Lucy's eye
The spiral that keeps watch — our signature charm, and we always tell you which is which.
Knives
The emblematic patterns of Corsican knife-making, from keepsake to handmade piece.
A family story, in Calvi
“E Belle Cose” means “the beautiful things” in Corsican. Since the 1980s it has been a family story — a handing-down we are proud of, and one that shapes how we sell: with care, precision and an eye for beauty.
We are not a department store. What sets us apart is the advice, the time spent and the story we tell. We sell souvenirs, but above all we create a moment. A department store sells objects; a website sells prices; we sell a moment — the time spent, the story told, the piece we place in your hand.
« Le soleil a tant fait l’amour à la mer qu’ils ont fini par enfanter la Corse. »
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry“The sun made love to the sea so long that in the end they gave birth to Corsica.”
“Your memories are precious” — we like the double meaning. Your memories: the moments you take home from Corsica. And our souvenirs: the beautiful things we choose to keep them alive.
E · B · C
Our values are held in our name: three pillars, like the three initials of the shop.
E — Expertise
Knowledge. We know our products, their materials, their stories and the rules that govern them — and we keep the curiosity to learn more. If we do not know, we say so, then we check.
B — Benevolence
The relationship. We welcome you with a smile, we listen, we share a story, a piece of advice, a kindness. We respect every person and every budget: the smallest sale deserves the same care as the finest.
C — Choice
The beautiful things. It all starts with a demanding selection, an eye that spots the rare piece. What we put in the window, we have chosen — and we can tell you why.
Saying it right, rather than overselling
We name every material exactly: sterling silver, gold plate, stainless steel, or the precise name of the stone. Never any embellishment.
For gold and silver, the guarantee is already struck into the metal — the hallmark, applied under State control. For coral, a “genuine coral” card comes with every purchase. And when two materials look alike, we tell you which is which.
That is what brings people back — and it is our signature.
In the heart of Calvi
Push the door open: we will take the pieces out of the window, let you handle them, and tell you their story.
