The idea for a fashion accessory capable of expressing one’s personality, values, passions, politics, secrets and sensibilities originated with Paolo Gensini in the small town of Sesto Fiorentino, near Florence Italy.

Connected by a spring-loaded mechanism, each segment could be filled (and replaced), one by one, with a different decorative design. Fashioned out of high quality stainless steel, the pieces were guaranteed never to tarnish or fade.
