June’s eBay share: Vintage Razza Ram head necklace.
I have a growing obsession for these huge animal head pendants by Razza; a real conversation starter. I’ve had my eye on the lion head in particular. After searching I’ve realized that this design is much more sought after and rare in good condition then the other heads. But, I was able to buy my Ram for $49 so look often for new listings to score a good deal because sometimes sellers just don’t know what they have.
If I had all the money in the world this would be mine: Click to see

The panda is really cute. I have a weakness for pandas as that used to be my nickname. No way in the world would I ever want the scorpion. I can't stand scorpion jewelry or any representations of them. Maybe that's because I've seen to many of the real things in my house here in Mexico.
