I'm sure there's a great story behind your acquisition of each of these superb pieces. I just wish you infinite time and energy so you could produce a book about collecting itself.

Love your collection.  Are you interested in selling any of these items?  I like the micromosaic of the dog.

I am a newcomer.My forte has been glass as in Galle, Daum, R.Lalique, Moser etc. Having serious difficulties in buying glass because of the increasing costs, I started looking into costume jewellery, and by luck I bought a magnificent Coppola e Toppo necklace at an auction for very little money.Nobody knew what it was! This started my curiosity about 4 months ago, I searched in the webb, and discovered a new world,  and now I am trapped. I'm amazed of the incredible designs produced by Coppola e Toppo, Miriam Haskell, Schiapparelli, etc. etc. The exquisite and original designs, made by hand,and also the over the top creations which are inspite of it, so wearable. The power of imagination had no limits!
