Besuteria: here's a new word for my vocabulary. I was coming home on the bus - in impossibly slow-to-stationary traffic because of a large fire a couple of streets over - and enjoying the views of the little botegas - and then - "besuetria"? I could guess the general field, because of bijouterie, but "besuteria" is something else yet again. Rather than signifying "jewellery" - or jeweller - this is, precisely, somewhere that sells mock jewellery, made from fake precious stones snd the like. Who knew?
