Dog Lover Paw Print Necklace, Red Copper Sodalite Handmade Jewelry

The "My Four Footed Friend" handmade necklace features an artisan red copper dog paw print pendant, blue sodalite gemstones and copper ebads - unique dog lover jewelry for women.

Perfect jewelry for the dog lover, the meaningful, one of a kind MY FOUR FOOTED FRIEND handmade necklace features an artisan red copper paw print pendant, blue sodalite gemstones and copper beads. The unique pendant was cut from copper sheet metal and then textured using a technique called “repousse” (pounding the back of the metal from the reverse to give it form). A lovely raised paw print is found on the front of the square pendant including the four toe pads and the metacarpal pad. The back of the pendant shows the recessed paw print. A raised frame was soldered around the paw print and a round bail was attached at the top. To get the glorious red orange copper color, a patination formula was brushed on and then fired at high what with a torch. So the colors don’t fade and for years of wearing pleasure, the pendant was brushed with a metal lacquer sealant. A thick copper jump ring securely fastens the paw print pendant to the main body of the necklace.  To perfectly complement the colors of the dog paw print pendant, rich blue sodalite rounds were used. Sodalite is a beautiful gemstone that ranges in shades from a midnight blue to a very pale blue, sometimes with white veining. The sodalite used in the necklace is mainly a medium blue with some darker and lighter blue beads, The finish of the gemstones is a medium shine, not high gloss and not matte, but somewhere in-between. Copper bicone beads add a wonderful gleam and break up the sodalite into alternate groups of five stones and three stones. A sleek copper toggle clasp set finishes the paw print necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MY FOUR FOOTED FRIEND was created for the woman who loves her dog(s) and loves to wear one of a kind artisan jewelry.
