Buccellati. Monkey Brooch. Yellow gold, pink gold, white gold, pearls  © Buccellati 2015

Monkey Broochy in yellow and pink gold, with a pearl and branch in white gold. A marvellous and fascinating animal, the monkey amazes us with its intelligence and energy. It knows how to amuse itself, is dynamic and appealing. In the Chinese zodiac the monkey is the sign representing the most sociable, creative and inquisitive people, perhaps a bit rebellious and often self-indulgent. The monkey is loyal, astute and anything but shy. By observing it, we are led to think about what we say and how we say it, wondering about the self-image we present to others. Finally, the monkey is the animal that helps us be bolder and more self-confident.
