Dog Bone Bracelet Giveaway from For Love of a Dog Jewelry

I'm so glad November is over.  Short month with Rosie's birthday, the Holiday Gift Guide for Dogs and Dog Lovers, and  the Thanksgiving holiday meant that I totally forgot to do a November giveaway of my For Love of a Dog Jewelry!

It's definitely time for a giveaway!

Enter to win a little something for yourself or to give as a gift to a special friend who loves dogs.  This giveaway ends in time for the winner to enjoy wearing their prize to holiday parties!

This dog bone bracelet is one of a kind. The focal is a handmade porcelain ceramic white dog bone with three dimensional details. Then I combined coordinating big fat red brilliantly faceted irridescent Austrian crystals and handmade artisan lampwork beads. 

Each lampwork bead is unique and include sweet three dimensional raised flower blossoms, plus beautiful scrolling designs.  Clear crystals add more sparkles. Bright, lively colors with a floral touch make for pretty bling!

 This dog bone bracelet is hand wire wrapped with silver jeweler's wire. Be sure to check out the adorable silver dog collar and dog bone toggle clasp.

 Enter to win this bracelet!

 Giveaway Rules:

1. There will be one winner (chosen at random by Rafflecopter) and they will receive this dog bone bracelet which will be custom sized for them. 

2. This giveaway is open worldwide.  However, non-US residents will probably not receive the bracelet before the first of the new year due to international shipping.

4. The winner will be announced on December 12 here on Talking Dogs blog, plus the winner will receive an email from me that morning.   If I do not receive a response to that email within 48 hours, an alternate winner will be chosen.
