Recently added to Ann’s collection of remarkable jewelry is the work of Clara Kasavina.  Clara and her husband, Misha Berger, a sculptor, design Clara Kasavina Jewelry in their studio in New York.  It’s hand-sculpted right there in the studio, and they create with semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals.   Their jewelry is worn by celebrities for red carpet events and their studio is commissioned frequently by top-tier fashion designers (such as Ralph Lauren) to make signature elements of new fashion collections.   We’re happy to offer an edited collection of key pieces that we know you will enjoy adding to your jewelry collection.

You’ve been such a good Santa’s helper.   All that Christmas shopping is exhausting.  You deserve a little present for yourself!   Why not indulge in a wee bauble to glam up your holiday party outfit?  (Oh, all right, get them as gifts, but you’ll want one for yourself.  You know you will.) 

Give her beautiful jewels without robbing a bank to pay for them.  These pieces are from CRISLU, world-class makers of fine cubic zirconia jewelry.  The only difference between these stones and mined diamonds is that CRISLU manuafacturers their own stones.  They add beautiful color to simulate other precious gems (like sapphires) and cut the raw manuafactured stones, then set them with the same techniques used for fine diamond jewelry.  And you have beautiful, pageant-worthy jewels that she will enjoy.   Make it a CRISLU Christmas with a breath-taking present from Ann’s!  Shop now, we’re having Christmas every day.  For more CRISLU at Ann’s, click here.
