This is just too good! I have been granted permission to take shopping clients to a jewelry workshop here in Florence. They made the Corteccia di Pino (Bark of Pine) bracelet I wrote about earlier, which is beautiful, but fickle woman that I am, I have fallen in love with a new bracelet: but wait! Is it a bracelet, or is it a necklace? It is BOTH! Here it is pictured as a bracelet, but when it is unwound, it becomes a gorgeous choker!

I actually felt my heart skip a beat when I tried it on….was afraid to put it around my neck for fear of fainting!
