This handcrafted dog lover necklace is definitely a statement piece of jewelry. It is absolutely stunning, one of a kind, and one of my favorite creations.
Center stage is an incredible hand carved pendant that I directly imported. Solid Tigerseye gemstone with a simply amazing dipiction of a Setter, Spaniel or Retriever dog. A rare artisan piece, it almost looks as though the dog is appearing out of a basket. Could that be a fishing creel? Exquisite carving details and generously sized. Be mindful: this dog pendant has some weight.
Not wanting to distract from the pendant, I've composed the necklace with lots of Tigerseye gemstone beads. Really large, fat round beads, plus some smaller round beads and sleek rondelles. All hand wire wrapped with gold jeweler's wire with fancy gold bead caps and an artful hook and eye clasp.
This is a one of a kind, very dramatic dog lover necklace. Perfect for any dog owner, but especially one who loves the Setter, Spaniel and Retriever dog breeds. This piece will definitely collect compliments and is sure to start conversations. A barking good gift idea for a friend or as a special treat for yourself.

I like them all - pointers, setters, retriever, spaniels - what have you. I've had good ones and bad of several kinds. Most of the bad ones were my own fault and most of the good ones would have been good under any circumstances. Gene Hill |
