For many years, I’ve created the occasional piece of animal jewelry with angel wings. And of course, since this is Valentine’s Day, I thought this sweet Valentine Cat would make a nice greeting! I hope you have a wonderful, loving day with your special companions, both human and animal…
A Very Special Winged Dog
This topic is on my mind not only because today is Valentine’s Day, but because a couple weeks ago my brother Jeff asked me to make a design representing a beautiful dog that his good friend recently lost to a tragic accident. She was a young and healthy dog, so this was a very traumatic loss for Jeff’s friend.
I created this pendant, a happy and very large dog looking joyful and flying to her new adventure. (You may be able to tell the breed, but since this is to be a surprise for his friend, I didn’t want to mention it in my blog post.)
This is my original model, which has not yet been cast in Sterling Silver, but is shown in the original state, after having been created by me in polymer clay.
As with all my winged animal jewelry, I hope this brings some comfort to this grieving pet owner.
Tell me…What other winged animals should I make?
So far I have depicted the following animals with wings in my jewelry:
Rabbit, ferret, Labrador, Yorkie, dachshund, cat, bichon and greyhound.
I’ve thought about adding to this collection, so maybe you can help me with your own suggestion(s) of what animal you would like to see as a charming angel.
So…if you could choose a dog or cat breed or ANY animal to be represented as an angel in one of my jewelry designs, what would it be?
If I have enough requests for a particular animal, I just might add it to my collection.
As always, thank you so much for being my customer, and have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love and Happy Valentine’s Day,
Your Animal Loving Artist
Hi, and thank you for your great designs. I still carry my golden African grey pendant around my neck and never takes it off other then for MR scans, recently went thru 3 cancers, healthy now tho:)
I would LOVE to see an African grey design with extra wings, a bit odd tho and maybe hard since they already carry wings:) Just a thought. Or, a Yorkie, since we had them in our family too.
Hope you hade a great Valentine´s day too.
Love,
Inger (Sweden) and my CAG Dino
Inger, I am so glad you are in good health now! That is an interesting idea about a parrot with extra (angel) wings. I’ll have to think about that one!
I do, however, have a yorkie with angel wings! You can actually type that into the search box.
I had a lovely Valentine’s Day with my grandchildren, son and daughter-in-law. I hope you did too!

While there are many breeds that I love and have owned, my last two dogs are mixed breeds, so just a scruffy dog look would be great. I lost one that I had loved for 12 years and I adopted again in September.
I also like the idea of a squirrel!!
Ah, great idea! I find that some of my customers find the Maltese, Havanese and Yorkie angels remind them of their own little scruffy dogs. See what you think!

I would love to see a squirrel. There is one that comes to my home and taps the door with nuts (and even occasionally a sugar cookie I think kids at the bus stop give him). My dog barks and the squirrel climbs the wrought iron on my door. I have photos. I dread when “Cookie” no longer comes around
How Sweet! I love squirrels, and totally understand how it is possible to get attached to one of those little critters. – Merry
Lovely new Dog pendant. I’m sure it will be worn with love.Thanks for sharing your newest work.
Thank you, Merrie! – Merry
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I would like to see a guinea pig winged angel.
That could be super cute! Thanks for the suggestion. – Merry
I would love to see a winged dachshund. We recently lost our beloved Daisy.
Hi Anne, I’m so sorry to hear about Daisy. But I do have winged dachshunds. You can click on the link to dachshunds in my blog post, or here are some other links for you:
