Sparkling Scavengers

Women and crows actually share a lot in common. You didn’t know that did you? They are both very intelligent, both have complex vocalization that is not well understood by man but understood by their brethren, and they both love shiny objects. This, of course, brings us to the second recommendation from yours truly at Rakish Dishevelment for the lovely siren in your life this Christmas season: jewelry. Sure, that is a vague answer, but let me focus it a little bit better for you. More specifically I am talking about Azaara jewelry.

Designer Josef Arzili is the mastermind behind this gorgeous brand hailing from Los Angeles, California. Arzili began his studies at the Fashion Institute of Hamburg, Germany over 30 years ago. It wasn’t until fall 2001, though, that he created his first line of jewelry called the Vintage Crystal Collection. Over the years, he has added new and exciting lines to his company, featuring everything from enamel to precious stones. The beautiful thing about his line is that many of the pieces are affordable yet high in quality, winning you points for both style and frugality. Each piece looks like a rare estate item once belonging to an elegant duchess, which is how she will feel when she opens it up.

Final Verdict: When buying a ring make sure that you know her size. You wouldn’t want her excitement to be diminished by the fact that she has to mail it back and get the next size in 4-6 weeks. Also, pick up a jewelry box to put it in. It makes more of a statement. Do that, and the only sound you hear after the creak of the box opening will be a gasp.
