This dog lover necklace features a wonderfully whimsical orginal Bernese Mountain Dog or Greater Swiss Mountain Dog sculpture by a Michigan porcelain clay artist. Mary is an illustrator and her training shows in this adorable hand cut Berner or Swissy. Completely handmade and delightful. Signed by the artist and definitely one of a kind. This handcrafted porcelain clay dog is two dimensional and comes with a cute silver dog bone dangle.
I added a pin back and then used a silver pin-to-pendant converter. This sweet Bernese or Swiss Mountain Dog makes a perfect pendant, but can also be easily detached to wear as a pin. You can even use other pins as pendants on this incredibly versatile necklace piece.
To create the necklace I coordinated beads with the delightful dog collar: chunky fat Magnesite purple and fuscia round beads, plus big fat sky blue Czech glass and Austrian crystal beads. I couldn't resist adding some three dimensional lampwork glass black dog bones, too. All hand wire wrapped with silver jeweler's wire with fancy silver accent beads. This necklace is extra long, extra colorful and extra special.
One of a kind artisan jewelry makes a barking good gift for any dog lover. Fetch this Bernese or Swiss Mountain Dog necklace and pin for your favorite dog lover. And remember: many of our dog breed jewelry pieces can easily represent a mixed breed dog, like this one.
