I'm thrilled to introduce my new ANTIQUITY series

Each one of the silver greyhound images is individually molded, carved, sanded, fired, re-sanded, buffed, tumbled, oxidized and finally hand polished from .999 pure silver before being mounted on semi precious stones.

To compliment the natural, organic look and shape of the stones, I  carefully tore the edges and oxidized each piece to create a unique one of a kind,  ancient almost hieroglyphic effect...I LOVE the way these turned out!

The Pendant : For this necklace I used my popular NAMELESS  pendant who represents the thousands of hounds who do not make it into adoptive loving forever homes. This substantial pure silver focal is hand cast and finished and my bet is it will be a constant conversation piece when worn, giving you endless opportunities to talk about our wonderful breed. I hung the pendant from a uniquely shaped, oxidized Bali style, silver plated bail.

The Necklace: I used big, bold and beautiful graduating green turquoise rondelles to really create some impact!!

The Closure: A larger, easy to close silver lobster claw  closure 


WHAT IS THE GREYHOUND STARFISH CONNECTION?

Those familiar with greyhound adoption may also be aware of the starfish poem and how it relates to the mindset of those who adopt these elegant, gorgeous, deserving, hounds.
My inspiration for these jewelry pieces stems from my personal identification with the poem.

The Starfish Poem

As I walked along the seashore
This young boy greeted me.
He was tossing stranded starfish
Back to the deep blue sea.
I said, "Tell me why you bother,
Why you waste your time this way.
There's a million stranded starfish
Does it matter, anyway?"

And he said, "It matters to this one.
It deserves a chance to grow.
It matters to this one.
I can't save them all I know.
But it matters to this one,
I'll return it to the sea.
It matters to this one,
And it matters to me."
