Our story |
It all started with Morgan, our first Greyhound. Who knew they "needed" so many accessories? Fancy martingale collars, coats, sweaters, pajamas, hoodies, booties - you name it, they wear it. Originally, I thought all the pampering and fussing over their Greyhounds was something the owners enjoyed and that the hounds couldn't care less about. But after a while I started to notice how proudly Morgan, and Cosmo - our second Grey - strutted around once I put a new collar on them. Their heads held high; their noses pointed ever so slightly more towards the sky (as if they weren't already full enough of themselves). As a longtime fan of nice stuff, including jewelry (a small "hobby" of mine, lovingly nurtured by my fantastic husband who was smart enough to figure out early on the quickest way to my heart was through the diamond mine), making fashionable, high quality necklaces for hounds seemed like a logical leap. Over time, as I noticed that much of my necklaces-designed-for-hounds were actually being purchased and worn by their owners, I decided to branch out into earrings and bracelets actually designed for humans. All my jewelry, be it for humans or the better-than-humans, is made using only the coolest beads, including real freshwater pearls, jasper, obsidian, jade, agate, turquoise, shell, Swarovski crystals, and some of the neatest glass beads around. Every necklace and bracelet is strung on stainless wire, so it's guaranteed not to stretch, and finished with either lobster claw or decorative toggle clasps. All the wires in my earrings are either 22k gold plating over surgical steel or sterling silver plating over surgical steel. For those with extra sensitive ears, 14k gold filled or .925 sterling silver ear wires can be substituted for a modest, additional charge. I am a jewelry-making freak, so if there's something you want that you don't see, I probably already have the material to make it but just haven't gotten to it yet. Contact me and I will be happy to work with you to design the perfect piece for you or for your pup. |
