Silver Dog Pendant with Zirconia

A terrier in profile with his tail up and a polished bar of silver at his collar, outlined in a fine row of beads and filled edge to edge with small clear stones.

Made from 925 sterling silver with a rhodium layer, set with cubic zirconia. It ships as a pendant only: no chain is included, and it hangs from a broad open bail for a chain of your own.

The rhodium layer stops the silver tarnishing and keeps the shine longer. The silver is nickel-free, lead-free and cadmium-free to European standards — hypoallergenic, and comfortable against sensitive skin.

He has some weight to him for his size, so on a long chain he hangs low and stays where he is put instead of riding up under a collar — far enough down that people can see he is a dog and not a glint. Worn short he turns into a detail rather than a joke. Buy him for somebody who owns the real thing and talks about it at length, or for the grandmother whose phone wallpaper is a terrier. It arrives in a free jewellery box with a polishing cloth.
