Its no secret that at For Love of a Dog Jewelry we love black dogs. We always have had at least one black dog among our critter crew. All have been adopted from an animal shelter or rescued. Why black dogs are often overlooked at shelters and among the last to be adopted is a question we often asked ourselves. These days Black Dog Syndrome is recognized in the animal welfare community and many shelters and rescue groups have refocused their efforts to combat this prejudice against black dogs.
One small way I advocate for black dog adoption is by wearing my own one of a kind black dog jewelry. It's a great way to engage people in conversation about the plight of black dogs. Increasing awareness is always a good thing and talking about something like a handcrafted bracelet is a very non-threatening way to do it.
To the left is one of our handmade advocacy bracelets. This handcrafted black dog bracelet features a charming Czech glass dog head bead with a hand carved black onyx gemstone star surrounded by luscious creamy white freshwater pearls. Sterling silver accents really shine here. Pretty dangles include another black onyx star and a little silver three dimensional dog bone.
Why a star? Because black dog lovers and advocates are definitely stars! Why pearls? Because black dogs are often referred to as Black Pearl Dogs.

Black Dog Pearl Necklace Dog Lover Jewelry

Black Pearl Dog is a name commonly given to black shelter dogs who are commonly the last to be adopted, if they're adopted at all. Animal shelters are increasingly outspoken about what is called Black Dog Syndrome. This black dog necklace was inspired by the advocacy of many who are trying to rescue black dogs.
Absolutely charming Czech glass dog heads with lovely details are featured in this black dog necklace. Black Labrador Retriever dogs may come first to mind, but these dog beads could represent almost any dog including most retrievers, greyhounds, and more.
I've hand wire wrapped beautiful creamy white Freshwater Pearls with gold. A gold filigree ball seems to be the center of a tug of war between these pups. Perfect handcrafted gifts for a dog lover friend or for yourself are available at For Love of a Dog Jewelry.
