We create unique personalized items for people to be able to forever remember their pets. In 2002, we set out to create the finest jewelry and gifts that people would be proud to wear and give, respectively. We believe that animals and pet’s are part of God’s creation and each has been given a spirit in the universe we occupy. That is why every item we create is made to order. We are not "Corporate"...no barcodes used here. Every order is tracked by pet's name! You often hear in the shop...Who is working on Bailey's paw print? Where's Max? There is a story behind every piece of jewelry we create. You can see and feel the difference!
Jewelry – All our Jewelry pieces are made to order! We handcraft our jewelry one piece at a time. We employ the traditional “Lost Wax Casting” method whose origins have been around an estimated 5,000 years and is still the best method for creating high quality jewelry.
Once you place an order, we create an exact wax replica of your jewelry piece from one of our molds. If you are creating a custom piece with your pet’s actual paw print, then we use a computer aided design program to create an exact wax replica of your jewelry piece.
Next, we “invest” your wax jewelry piece and prepare a mold ready for “metal casting”. After 48 hours, we “hand pour” generous amounts of molten silver or gold and let cool. We then polish your piece to perfection. Our master jeweler has over 20 years finishing experience. If all goes well, it usually takes about 5-7 business days from start to finish. [For “Custom Paw Print” pieces, please add 5 days to the above process due to additional design time.]
Why we create our jewelry this way? One time it took an unbelievable five attempts to create a custom pendant from Charlie's paw print and we couldn’t figure out what was happening. We apologized to Charlie's owner. She said, "No worries, Charlie was always stubborn." There are many similar stories and because of that, we believe that there is a piece of your pet's spirit in everything we create. We would be honored to create that special piece of jewelry for you.
Gifts – We employ various Artists to design and create the most unique and quality gifts for people to remember their beloved companions. Most are signed by the creative Artist and wrapped to perfection for a comforting experience for the recipient. We try to have our gifts shipped between 1 to 4 days [depending on the type of gift].
