Dogs and Birds - Artisan Handmade Jewelry by Shadow Dog Designs

Posted March 18, 2025

 

 

Lately it seems quite a bit of my jewelry has been dog and bird themed.  Not a surprise, however, since people who know me know how much I am a lover of dogs and am a big time birder. Ever since I was a little kid, I have been attracted to both (and horses, but that's another blog post in the works).  So I wanted to share some of my newest dog and bird related jewelry, all are one of a kind designs and handmade by me.  If something catches your eye, be sure to click either the photo or the description underneath the picture to be taken to the item in my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS - JEWELRY shop.  I hope you enjoy the new beauties.
