Take this delicate dragonfly charm, for instance. It took me years to finally design this iconic insect, but I’m very happy to be one of a large number of artists who have images of it in various forms. Next to butterflies, dragonflies are my favorite insect. Judging from the number of people who wear designs of both of them in some form or another, I’d say I’m not alone.
If you want to honor your kitties and puppies no matter their size or breed, then this pretty heart-shaped paw print charm might be the very thing. I’ve seen a lot of paw print jewelry designs, and I completely understand its popularity. After all, you can’t top it for an all around way to represent our most common pets. I’ve designed quite a, both for my own line and for the ASPCA online store.
Probably the other most common way to represent a pooch is something like this vertical bone charm. It’s the second bone charm I have in my line, so now you have a choice between this one and the smaller, horizontal version.
It’s hard to say how much the little silver squirrel charm was inspired by my “back yard monkeys,” but I will say that the big oak tree in my back yard is inundated with little grey rascals. Not only do they chase each other up the trunk and across the branches, but I get an earful of annoyed chatter when I walk across my lawn to the compost pile. Whose yard is it, anyway? They’d probably argue it was theirs, since their family has been here for more generations than mine.
I’m not a rider, but I think horses are magnificent animals. When I designed this silver equine charm facing forwards, it made me smile. Most horse jewelry is designed in profile, but I thought I’d try something a little different. And this is the way I think of horses, the view I have of them while I pat their noses or offer them a carrot.
I know that my customers have different needs and different inclinations when it comes to their sterling silver jewelry, but I try and provide what I can. There’s nothing nearly as satisfying as finally creating something that hundreds of customers have been asking me for. When I first starting making silver and gold jewelry, I had no idea how popular the charms would be. And now that I carry a charm bracelet in two different lengths, you can shop for a complete gift on my site. The bracelets come in both 8.25 inches and 7.5 inches.
If you are looking for something on my site and can’t find it, you can always email me your request. Although I don’t make custom jewelry in .925 or 14K gold, if you happen to be the 20th or 30th person requesting a Pomeranian, it might just be your lucky day!
