This is a chunky handcrafted dog lover necklace. Not intended to denote a specific breed, but rather a beautifully earthy way to display your love of all things canine.
Center stage is an incredible hand carved pendant. Solid Fancy Jasper in deep warm greens that fade to mauve and purple. The carving is a projecting two dimensional standing dog. There's an Egyptian or primitive quality to the image. Exquisite carving details and generously sized. Be mindful: this dog pendant has some weight.
To showcase this spectacular dog pendant, I've used coordinating gemstones for the necklace. Lots of Fancy Jasper in greens, purple, mauve with not only the usual round gemstone beads, but also some gigantic faceted oval beads. Very chunky. All hand wire wrapped with silver jeweler's wire with fancy silver beads. Absolutely gorgeous, earthy colors. Extra long.
Coordinating earrings come with this dog necklace. Fancy Jasper long teardrops freely dangle from Fancy Jasper round gemstone beads. Silver accents and leverbacks.
This is a one of a kind, very dramatic dog lover necklace. Perfect for a dog owner, but also suitable as a good luck totem. 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.
