I do believe my selection of sterling silver dog pin pendants has grown quite a bit these last few years! Some have passed out of my collection, while others have been added. I like the dog pin pendants because the size is larger and there’s no mistaking what you’re looking at! I wear these myself and often hear a complement or inquiry as to the source of the animal jewelry. I discovered an interesting thing when I began to design jewelry that would be cast in sterling silver. Extremely whimsical designs just didn’t seem as popular as they did in the polymer clay. And whenever I let myself be talked into designing something in silver that resembled one of my more fanciful clay designs, it seemed to settle down and never really find a new home. In other words, it didn’t sell! But that was fine by me, because I was very ready to take my art into another direction anyway. I didn’t become what I would call a realistic artist, but I was suddenly able to spend hours and hours on only one design, whereas when I designed in the clay I really had to hustle to make enough stock to sell. My life became a lot more fun. See what happened in the unique farm animal pin pendants in silver or at my silver pin pendant home page. So that is why I now have time to make these silver dog pin pendants. And now you’ve heard the rest of the story. |
