Dog Lover Paw Print Necklace, Red Copper Sodalite Handmade Jewelry


red copper dog paw print pendant jewelry with blue sodalite

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.

*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the MY FOUR FOOTED FRIEND dog rescue necklace will be donated to an animal rescue organization to help care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Faithful Dog Rescue Necklace, Pewter Jasper Red Coral Handmade Jewelry


dog necklace jewelry gift for women

The "Faithful" handmade necklace features a two sided pewter faithful dog pendant, red coral, Picasso jasper and sterling silver - meaningful gift for women.


The one of a kind FAITHFUL necklace is a perfect piece of handmade jewelry to gift a woman who loves dogs, especially if her dog(s) is a rescue. The meaningful design features a two sided, lead free pewter dog pendant, brilliant red coral nuggets and earthy Picasso jasper. The star of the one of a kind necklace is the lead free pewter dog pendant. It has a wonderfully rustic look to it since it was patterned after wax seal stamps that were once used to secure letters and documents. The pendant is two-sided. The front features a raised dog design with the word “faithful” above it. The backside has the word "FAITHFUL" on a raised sign. To lend a vintage feel, the charm was coated with a dark patina and then polished, leaving the raised areas shiny to bring out the lovely detail. To perfectly highlight the dog pendant, bright red coral nuggets and earthy colored Picasso jasper gemstones was used. Three pieces of red coral were used on each side of where the pendant connects and is then placed in groups of two with a jasper round separating them. The color of the Picasso jasper rounds range in shades of brown, from a light tan to darker browns, some with hints of gray. Separating the red coral from the jasper are small, glowing sterling silver beads. The necklace is finished with a small toggle clasp set. Created for the woman who cares for and loves dogs deeply, the unique FAITHFUL necklace was carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.


*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the FAITHFUL necklace will be donated to an animal rescue group to help care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Dog Cat Paw Print Earrings, Pink Czech Glass Crystal Handmade Jewelry


cat dog paw print earrings with swarovski crystals

The "Pink Paw Prints" handmade earrings feature dusty pink Czech glass paw print beads and Swarovski crystals - perfect gift for an animal lover.


*** Please note: When sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the PINK PAW PRINTS dog / cat rescue earrings will be donated to an animal rescue group to care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

The meaningful PINK PAW PRINTS handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift idea for the woman who adores cats and dogs. The earrings feature sweet Czech glass paw print shaped beads, sparkling Swarovski crystals and copper. The glass beads, made in the Czech Republic, started out as dusty pink molten glass. While still in a semi-melted state, a dog / cat paw print design was pressed into the glass on both sides creating a wonderful recessed texture. To bring out the details and to add a vintage look to the pad and the four toes, each footprint was coated with a bronze Picasso finish. The finish was then polished off the face of the beads, leaving the bronze mainly in the recessed areas and on the sides - each bead a bit different from the others. Since the dusty pink paw print beads are two sided, the earrings look beautiful from any angle.  To add a huge dose of sparkle to the earrings design, a single 6 mm faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was stacked on top of the paw print beads, separated by a copper daisy spacer. The color of the Swarovskis is called “rose peach,” a perfect color to highlight the dusty pink of the paw prints. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PINK PAW PRINTS earrings were created for the dog and cat lover and are a meaningful jewelry gift.

The Czech beads were created from dusty rose glass with a recessed paw print design on both sides.
