Description 

This listing is for just the pendant with the option of adding a chain. I have had many requests for this and thought I would let you decide how you want to wear this gorgeous pendant. Add it to a charm Bracelet or to a chain you already have or choose between a gorgeous sterling silver snake or ball chain.

Please note: I have shown pictures in both the Oxidized (blackened) version of the pendant or the un oxidized shiny silver, chains are available to match. Please choose from the drop down which one you prefer.

Your pendant will come in a beautiful brown faux suede draw string pouch.

About the Pendant:

I had asked Artist Kellie Oliphant of www.doodledogpaintings.com if she would be interested in coming up with a doodle that depicted a greyhound and incorporated a starfish somewhere in the design.

Kellie outdid herself with the image that I then had cast in sterling silver. I am thrilled to introduce this original artwork keepsake pendant with it's elongated greyhound body and adorable little starfish placed right into the heart of the greyhound body

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.

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."

The Poem inspired me to create this pendant and I hope it will become a keepsake that allows us to keep our hounds and the cause for greyhound adoption close to our hearts.

The solid sterling silver pendant measures 30mm x 10 mm from the top of the very unique curlicue attachment to it's bottom and has a substantial feel to it with 2mm depth.
