Description
According to Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, she was called The Beautiful Animal of the King (le bel animal du roi) during her trip from Marseille to Paris. She is referred to as Zarafa, which is the Arabic for \"Giraffe\". Another arabic word with a similar pronunciation, meaning \"charming\" or \"lovely one\" was mentioned by Allin as a possible etymology...

This lovely pendant was inspired by Zarafa, one of the first three giraffes to be seen in Europe. A gift to the French King, Zarafa features two arching giraffe stampings flanking a beautiful Brandy Swarovski Crystal (Gold, orange and purple). The stone glitters like a piece of the african sky against layers of intricate brass filigree, beautifully aged to create the perfect look.
