Jewel and accessory, handcrafted artifacts par excellence, accompany with their strong symbolic value, the history of man from its origins. From talisman to inescapable sign of power and wealth, from simple accessory to fetish, the jewel, the shoe and the bag have become cult objects that define the relations between the individual and the social sphere and the intimate relationship between the personal being and his or her putting himself or herself on stage in the theater of life.
