Dog Bone Bracelet Giveaway from For Love of a Dog Jewelry

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!

New Dog Lover Necklaces at For Love of a Dog Jewelry


I haven't had a whole lot of time to spend in my studio lately, but I've tried to make the most of it.  I think I succeeded with some new dog bone necklaces.  They contain three of my favorite colors:  pink, turquoise and black.

I'm a pink girl, so I had a lot of fun creating the lampwork dog bone necklace shown at the top.  Love that fat foiled glass heart pendant!  I surrounded it with some sweet double sided white dog bones with pink paw prints.  Then added some rose pink based swirling bubble and white based pink polka dot lampwork beads.  A one of a kind creation for a dog lover who loves pink and gold.


Similar in design, the turquoise WOOF dog bone necklace shown above, is all about turquoise blues and is one of a kind.  Gorgeous, very fat, foiled turquoise glass heart pendant matches the other lampwork and crystal beads.  These artisan lampwork beads include a swirling tan based raise turquoise flower beads, a deep turquoise blue based bead with lighter "bubbles," ad another with a elongated polka dots and raised bumps.  Of course, they all accent a hand crafted porcelain WOOF dog bone.  Pretty spectacular, if I do say so myself.


A more natural, earthy take on this design, the WOOF dog bone necklace above begins with a chubby black onyx gemstone heart.  The necklace includes black obsidian gemstone beads with some beautiful artisan lampwork beads in swirls of black, caramel, and soft sage green.  Once again, the real focal point is the handmade porcelain WOOF dog bone.

Though I have some other color combinations of beads laid out to play with, I got distracted by some custom orders this week.  Hopefully, I'll be able to have some more fun studio time soon.

These necklaces join other unique dog bone themed jewelry at For Love of a Dog.  Perfect pieces ready for gift giving since they come in festive packaging.  Plus, For Love of a Dog offers free standard shipping to US addresses. 

Remember, almost all of my items are unique and one of a kind.  When they're gone... they're gone!

Copper Dog Bone Jewelry Bracelets at For Love of a Dog


Since my September jewelry giveaway is one of my copper dog bone bracelets, I thought it would be a good time to feature some more of my copper dog bone jewelry.

Each of these bracelets is one of a kind and includes a beautiful two dimensional flamed copper dog bone focal.  Gorgeous warm colors like a vivid sunset comes from the heat of the flame:  shades of pink and orange.  Each one is a little bit different.

The bracelet shown at top emphasizes the beautiful pinks, from soft rose to hot raspberry.  In fact, the faceted crystal rondelle beads I used are a soft, mellow rose color and coordinate nicely with the hand selected artisan lampwork beads.  This bracelet is hand wire wrapped with copper jeweler's wire.


I adore the deep cherry rose blossom handmade lampwork beads in the dog bone bracelet shown above.  The copper dog bone has the addition of some raised golden "bumps," so I hand wire wrapped these beads with gold jeweler's wire,. Then I added a sweet little gold heart and a gold dog collar and bone toggle clasp.

This confection (shown below) makes me think of pink lemonade and cotton candy.  Sweet shades of pink with some yellow, too.


Not all my copper dog bone jewelry is necessarily girly bling.  The bracelet shown below is simple and unisex, you could even say it has a grunge flavor.  Basic black onyx gemstone beads surround the focal and are hand wired wrapped with copper jeweler's wire.  Then I added a little copper heart which I hand stamped: DOG.


Fetch my handmade dog bone jewelry and you'll find other variations of bracelets including these wonderful copper dog bones.  Well, and other kinds of dog bones, too!   They make perfect gifts for dog lovers. 

And be sure to enter the September Giveaway!

Tennis Ball Dog Jewelry at For Love of a Dog


Yesterday I announced the August giveaway winner of a copper Fetch Dog Bone Necklace.  This giveaway provoked a lot of interest and special orders, including one from someone intending to use it as memorial jewelry.  Their pittie, Rocky, loved tennis balls, so I personalized the dog bone with Rocky's name instead of fetch.  What a wonderful idea!

It's not only retrievers who love a good game of fetch, plus many of my jewelry pieces can be personalized as memorial jewelry.  In fact, any of these bracelets and necklaces can be personalized with your dog's name.

The tennis ball dog bone bracelet shown at top is a festive choice in hot summer colors.  Red coral gemstone beads are combined with some wild handmade lampwork beads and porcelain tennis balls.  They frame the FETCH stamped silver dog bone. I love the large paw print lobster claw clasp and I (heart) My Dog / paw print double sided charm.


Shown above is a similar bracelet with jet black and citrine crystals combined with beautiful floral lampwork beads.  Love the black with those yellow tennis balls!

For those who prefer vintage style, I suggest you fetch the bracelet above.  A daisy lampwork bead, crystals, snow quartz gemstone beads, sweet yellow flower, plus a very cool floral brass toggle clasp.  And tennis balls, of course!

Here's a Fetch Tennis Ball Dog Bone Necklace like our giveaway, but in gold.


Remember, most of my jewelry are one of a kind pieces, so if you see something you like snag it now!  Need something personalized?  Don't be afraid to ask!

Favorite Dog Bone Jewelry Gifts at For Love of a Dog

Recently I've shared some of my favorite new creations including "The Rosie" and "Big Heart" necklaces.  Since our August giveaway is a copper dog bone necklace, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite pieces of dog bone jewelry.

Because most of my dogs have been mixed breed mutts, my dog breed jewelry just doesn't cut it for me personally.  Dog bones have been my favorite theme for years and I still love them.

It's hard to pick a favorite from, but I think I'd have to say I simply adore the turquoise lampwork bracelet shown above.  I know some don't like the term "dog mom,"  but around my house I am the dog mama and my dogs are my favorite babies.  I love the pretty white and turquoise daisy floral lampwork beads combines with sparkling turquoise faceted crystal rondelle beads.  Plus, the dog collar and dog bone toggle clasp makes me smile.

Here's another one of kind favorite from my rescue dog bone themed pieces,
my Adopt a Best Friend Dog Bone Lampwork Bracelet shown below:

I like the lively color combination of deep sky blue with deep rose and a hint of peridot green.  Such pretty little roses on these handmade lampwork beads.  Besides, I love the message of adopting a best friend. 

The WOOF dog bone necklace shown below appeals to me because of it's neutral caramel and biscuit brown colors.  Plus, it's so much fun!


Awhile back I imported some Ojime dog carvings from a craftsman in Hong Kong. They're rare and lovely!  I used one in in this dog bone and freshwater pearl necklace:


Though I'd have to say I really enjoy wearing almost all the styles of dog bone themed earrings I create, I dearly love dog bones combined with hearts like in these earrings shown below.  These could easily be called "For Love of a Dog Earrings."
OMD, it is so hard to just pick a few favorites to share with you!  If I could keep and wear them all, I probably would.  However, For Love of a Dog keeps me from being a dog jewelry hoarder!

Fetch more dog bone themed jewelry and so much more from my online shop.  You'll find barking good gifts for dog, cat and horse lovers.
