 A fashionable accessory was the "[[zibellino]]", the [[Fur|pelt]] of a [[sable]] or [[marten]] worn draped at the neck or hanging at the waist; some costume historians call these "flea furs".The most expensive zibellini had faces and paws of goldsmith's work with jewelled eyes.However, not all women or men were allowed to wear jewellery because of the [[sumptuary laws]] that restricted wearing certain types of jewellery and luxurious fabrics, such as purple velvet, to first royalty and then nobility.
