Fetch Tennis Ball Dog Lover Jewelry Gifts at ForLoveofaDog.com


Since yesterday was Rudy's birthday and there was a whole lot of fetch being played, I thought I'd feature my Fetch and Flyball dog jewelry today.

Have an active dog that lives to fetch and loves tennis balls?  Or maybe your dog is a true Flyball star?  Then, be sure to check out these jewelry pieces.

Shown above is just a sample of what I still have available.  Remember, I'm closing my For Love of a Dog jewelry business, so when these are sold there will be no more.

As I write this I have 7 bracelets, 5 necklaces, and 2 pair of earrings.  Each is one of a kind, handmade by me and Lab inspected by Rudy.

Unique Black Dog Jewelry for Holiday Gifts


The rescue jewelry at For Love of a Dog always makes good gifts for animal rescue volunteers, but our black dog jewelry happens to be some of our favorite pieces.  Since today is Black Friday, it seemed right to bark about it a bit.

Shown above is a black dog necklace that features a wonderful artisan lampwork black dog focal.  Three dimensional and handmade by a Colorado artisan.  I created the necklace by hand wire wrapping natural tigerseye gemstone beads and sweet black lampwork dog bone beads with gold jeweler's wire.  One of a kind necklace will not be repeated.

Shown below is a red crystal black dog lover necklace - with a big fat heart, of course.
The black dog bracelet below also has some of these very cool glass dog head beads that I imported from the UK.  This time I combined them with creamy white freshwater pearls and sweet hand carved black onyx gemstone stars.  

Fetch For Love of a Dog for more of our handmade dog rescue jewelry.  You'll find more black dogs featured in necklaces, bracelets and pins.  Remember, most jewelry pieces are one of a kind.  When they're gone, they're gone.

Barking good gifts for anyone involved in animal rescue work.  A great way to gather compliments and start conversations that can save the lives of black dogs in animal shelters.

Enjoy fast free standard shipping and don't miss our Black Friday Sale!

Basset Hound Dog Jewelry and Gifts for People


For Love of a Dog is a one woman small business and because all but a very few are handmade by me, they're one of a kind and limited in number.  Unfortunately, that's very true of my Basset Hound dog themed jewelry and gifts.

I do happen to adore the Basset Hound necklace shown at top.  The pendant is a hand sculpted ceramic hound dog.  Very dimensional and oh, so sweet.  I combined it with big, beautiful blue / green ceramic hearts and some natural riverstone and jasper gemstone beads for a chunky statement necklace.

Shown above is a whimsical Basset Hound necklace. The Basset Hound dog pendant is handmade of porcelain and comes with a simple silver snake chain.

My dog breed Christmas ornaments are already sold out in many dog breeds, but right now I have some Basset Hound ornaments.  Shown above is one Basset Hound Christmas ornament.  Check out the sculptural details.  Shown below is a tri color Basset Hound Christmas ornament.
 If you need a little gift for a special friend consider a Basset Hound dog leash holder.  Three dimensional and very lifelike.  Not hand made, but incredibly fun.

New Rachael Ray Inspired Dog Lover Jewelry at For Love of a Dog

Last week I shared with you the exciting news that I had the opportunity to create a special one of a kind dog lover bracelet for Rachael Ray.  I thought today I would share some of my new dog bone bracelets inspired by that piece.

You'll notice that all of these bracelets include handmade artisan lampwork beads, beautiful sparkling crystals for bling, plus a darling dog collar and dog bone toggle clasp.  Available in several color variations and in silver and gold, each is a one of a kind unique piece.


Here's a close-up of this pretty pink, white and silver confection.  This particular dog bone bracelet includes a handmade lampwork dog bone in white with pink paw prints.  Other lampwork beads include sweet pink rosebuds, pinks stripes and pink polka dots.  Pretty pink crystals, too.

Would this be a fabulous Mother's Day gift or what?!

Or how about this little cherry blossom number?  Fabulous colors in this dog lover bracelet include cherry red, hot pink, peridot green and pale pink.  Gorgeous rosebud lampwork beads coordinate perfectly with the flamed copper dog bone.  Lots of sparkling crystal dangles for bling are accented with gold, including a little heart dangle.

Here's a close up of this beauty:

For a more dramatic style, fetch this bold black dog bone bracelet with a carefully selected group of artisan lampwork beads in black and deep pink.  You'll find a black cored bead with pretty pink flower blossoms, black with pink three dimensional bumps, a black and pink stripe and a pink with black swirl pattern.  Accented with ice pink and jet black crystals for that sparkling bling. This one is in silver, but you'll also find a similar dog bone bracelet in gold at For Love of a Dog.
