Magnifier
When I was in NYC a few weeks back to see the McQueen exhibit, my helpmeet slipped off to the gift shop and picked me up this whimsical piece of jewelry. It’s modeled on Faberge sensibilities (and I do love the grandeur of the Russian imperial court) and, best of all for an archive rat like me who spends a great deal of time hunched over documents written in the 1580s which are written in a ridiculously small hand, it’s a magnifying glass! My trips to the archives are going to be ever so chic.
