sidebarOh to be the person my dog thinks I am... Linda Sullivan. "Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things man will not himself find peace." Albert Schweitzer. "One can measure the size and moral progress of a nation to how she treats her animals." Mahatma Gandhi. A pet is for life and they should not be bred or purchased to support fashion trends. Always buy from a reputable breeder... |

This wearable proclamation of love about your longhaired dachshund is both high-relief sculpture and a protective talisman. Each loop, also known as a bail, is custom designed to fit the piece on which it is to be worn. The bail is hinged allowing it to be hidden when the piece is worn as a pin. If your personal style leans toward the dramatic, Design Three is the pin pendant for you! I offer this pin pendant in your choice of yellow or white gold. You may wear it as a pin, or suspend it from your personal chain or Omega, where it will grow more beautiful with age and provide years of enjoyment. This pin pendant is an extension of the miniature fine art I create. Each is created at or smaller than the 1:6 scale recognized as the standard by miniature societies throughout the world. Each is crafted by hand, one at a time, using the lost wax casting method, a technique that has been used for thousands of years. Each is signed, numbered and includes my mark, JKß©. Smooth and Wire coats by commission. Images: Joy Beckner |
