Dog Lover Jewelry: Diverse Choices For Diverse Dog Lovers

Article Title: Dog Lover Jewelry: Diverse Choices For Diverse
Dog Lovers
Author: IPRWire Staff Writer

Those looking to exhibit love for their dogs in a durable and
fashionable way often find that dog lover jewelry makes a
wonderful choice. Gone are the days when plain bumper stickers
and boring t-shirts were the only way for dog lovers to
proclaim their admiration. Today, canine admirers can festoon
themselves with everything from earrings to bracelets featuring
dog themes. And the materials these pieces come in are just as
diverse as their styles.

* Platinum. Who doesn't love platinum? Its unique color and
inherent decadence makes it a great choice for jewelry
featuring a special pet. Don't expect to find platinum jewelry
"on the shelf," though. With platinum being so expensive,
chances are you'll have to have pieces custom-made.

* Gold. Even "serious" jewelers have taken notice of the
growing love affair with dogs. Today, dog owners-or just
admirers-can choose from a large array of gold jewelry
featuring their canine companions. Be warned, though. Gold
prices have continued to soar during the last year, making gold
a less affordable option for dog lover jewelry.

* Silver. Silver may be a more affordable alternative to gold
jewelry. However, its tendency to tarnish can make it somewhat
high-maintenance.

* Sterling. A very popular choice for all types of jewelry
recently, sterling is perhaps one of the most-utilized
materials for creating dog-themed jewelry. It is very
affordable and widely available. However, bear in mind that
sterling silver comes in a wide range of quality and
craftsmanship. In addition, sterling tends to react to simple
environmental factors (such as food and cleaners) to tarnish
more quickly. Its soft nature makes it easily scratched and
dinged.

* Pewter. A tin alloy that's rapidly growing in popularity,
this metal has the color of silver, but in a more subdued
finish. Its durability and reasonable price make it a great
choice for all types of jewelry.

Not only have the materials that jewelry is made out of
changed, so have the themes offered. Today, virtually any
message can be displayed on rings, necklaces, key chains
charms, and earrings. Some examples of popular themes are:

* Breeds. For those who love one particular dog breed over all
others, breed-themed dog lover jewelry is a wonderful choice.

* Awareness. The number of dogs living in shelters and rescue
facilities has risen dramatically. As a result, many dog lovers
choose to forgo pet stores and breeders to "rescue" a dog from a
lifetime of imprisonment. These owners are particularly proud of
their pets, and often like to promote their message through
jewelry.

* Personality. Whether expressing the personality of the dog
or the owner, jewelry (particularly charms) is a great way to
express it.

Today, finding an affordable and lasting way to express love
for man's best friend is easier than ever before. With so many
materials, styles, and themes available, even the most
discriminating pet owner can find dog lover jewelry that suits
their taste and budget. Check out http://www.bigpawdesigns.com
