I love accessories, brooches and bracelets especially. I collect them and treasure them over the years.

I simply love this one, don't you? | Adoro questa spilla, voi?

This one is not a brooch, but keeps my brooches company in my drawers. It's a marvelous little Japanese purse gave to me as a present by my friend Fuji. It's red enamel on black velvet, it feels wonderful in your hands and it is supposed to become more beautiful with time and use. I love it. | Questa non e' una spilla, ma tiene loro compagnia nel cassetto. E' un minuscolo borsellino giapponese regalatomi dalla mia amica Fuji. E' decorato smalto rosso lacca su velluto nero, meraviglioso al tatto e pare diverra' sempre piu' bello con il tempo e l'uso. Lo adoro.
