Unique cat jewelry and dog jewelry can be a challenge to find. Especially if you are looking for a specific breed! For instance, if it is cat earrings you are searching for, what search term should you enter? Maybe it is Siamese cat jewelry you're trying to find. Enter that term, and see what comes up. I find that searching for things online involves some intuition as well as trial and error.
To avoid always getting the same results with the same online jewelry stores, vary your search terms a bit. For instance, if you are looking for a pit bull pendant, try entering silver pit bull necklace, or Staffordshire terrier pendant. These are just some ideas; you know your breed, and you know what terms would most likely get you the best search results.
How do I Know for Sure if the Jewelry is Handcrafted?
If it is handcrafted jewelry you want, you are of course being even more specific. What makes a cat necklace artistic may be in the eyes of the beholder, but whether or not the silver or gold jewelry design was crafted by an artist, is not. What I find charming about a handmade silver jewelry piece is the slight imperfections you may find.
Go to the jewelry website itself. See if their cat gifts were created by an artist. Is his or her picture there? Is there a phone number? Sometimes all it takes is a phone call to the artist himself for reassurance that this pet jewelry was handcrafted.
What can I Expect to Pay?
From diamond cat jewelry to rhinestone jewelry, you are bound to find a huge price range. And of course, handcrafted designer jewelry will normally be more expensive than something that has been made by the hundreds or thousands.
Affordable jewelry is more popular now than ever, so consider looking at the possibility of pewter jewelry as well as .925 silver. Sterling silver jewelry is more expensive, but for some, pewter earrings will satisfy the need for something with that basic silvery color.
But I Want Cat Earrings that look like my Cat!
Custom jewelry in a cat earring or necklace design is not out of the question. There are jewelry artists that make one-of-a-kind designs from horse jewelry to butterfly jewelry and everything in between. In this case, be sure and do your homework.
If the artist works from a photograph of your pet, you can be fairly confident that you will end up with a good likeness. Be sure you have a guarantee as to the craftsmanship. Any artist worth his salt will want his clients to be happy with what he creates for them.
