Why Birthbone

From the beginning, my life has been enriched by the dogs in it. I volunteer for an animal rescue organization, foster dogs and some of them have never left. I have found a way to combine my art and my canine attachment – to celebrate those great creatures and to give back to them. A fabulous dog trainer and I came up with the idea – a sterling dog bone (or gold by special order) with a 4mm semi precious birthstone – one for each month – to celebrate your birthday, your dog’s birthday or the month that fabulous rescue pup(s) became part of your family. I donate a portion of my profit from each sale to an animal rescue organization for which I volunteer – so when you buy a birthbone, you are helping animals find their forever home. Choose a large birthbone or a small birthbone and pair it with the stone of your choosing from the list and pictures on the following page. Or, choose a small bone without a stone or email me at [email protected] to create a custom piece for you or someone you love in honor of that special dog. The semi-precious birthstones for each month are shown on the next page. Each Birthbone is hand-made in sterling silver. Each pendant comes on an 18” sterling silver chain.

So help me celebrate the furry creatures who grace our lives and us so much about love.
