A miniature globe in deep cobalt blue enamel, set in a gold stand and axis. 3D, perfectly proportioned. For the one who has been places and the one who is just getting started. Comes with a connector, wear it on a necklace, bracelet, watch or other accessories The lore: "The globe as a personal object has been a symbol of ambition and curiosity since the Renaissance, when wealthy Europeans kept terrestrial globes on their desks not just as navigational tools but as declarations of worldliness. Queen Elizabeth I was famously painted holding one — the Armada Portrait — to signal dominion and vision. In the 18th century, pocket globes became fashionable accessories for educated women, carried in ivory cases like jewellery boxes. Wearing a globe has always meant the same thing: I am not limited to where I am standing."
