Custom American Staffordshire Terrier Remembrance Gifts

Journey Paws celebrates the story of your life! Some people may feel it's about their journey with one special canine, while others decide it's about their journey with all the wonderful dogs that have come into their life. The message of Journey Paws is to remind us of the joys we have shared with our furry friends along the way. At Dazzling Paws Jewelry, we were inspired to create Journey Paws while contemplating our own dogs that have traveled with us on our journey, and the future dogs that are yet to join us. Certain dogs have come into our life at a specific time, for a special reason a puppy, a rescue dog, a senior foster dog and a dog with a few behavior issues and training challenges; all have given us gifts and taught us powerful lessons about patience, friendship, abilities, challenges, making the best of each moment and unconditional love.

As you will see in the exquisite design of Journey Paws, four paw prints are highlighted within the scroll which gently moves along a path to symbolize the journey. The four paws can suggest a birth to death timeline or perhaps distinguishable meanings or maybe even varying significance in our lives. The true beauty of this piece is in its individuality. Journey Paws is a dynamic, flowing design that lets you define the journey and meaning of the paths taken or not taken. Journey Paws ring is a show piece of dog jewelry that makes a statement, substantial piece of pet jewelry you will be proud to own for its significant sentimental value.

• Journey Paws ring can be worn with matching Journey Paws earrings, Journey Paws pendant or Journey paws bead.

We surround ourselves with special memories of times shared, carry and display favorite photos, and tell stories about their funny antics.

The story behind The Arms of an Angel urn pendant (September 2010)

In 2006 when Shelby our Border Collie mix was diagnosed with Addison's disease I felt like I would be dealing with the death of a pet soon. Having spent a ton of time on the Internet learning about Addison's, I realize that she has a disease that needs meds daily much like a diabetic. However over the course of time with prolonged use of drugs her health will slowly fail.

In 2006 I sprung into action with paper and pen to draw pet cremation jewelry for her ashes. I worked with a wax carver who stated it would be impossible to create as it was designed. They offered up some suggestion on a redesign. Little did they know cremation urn jewelry was not something new on the market. The design was something new but the concept was already being produced by other companies. Weeks became months and I became more frustrated with the feedback I was getting about taking the concept outside of the US to be MFG. Having seen first hand what the competition was producing I did not want our quality to emulate that. I wanted our quality standards to be above what the competition was offering out there.

For a couple of years I dropped the design because of all the road blocks. I also took some time learned a lot about the pet cremation jewelry industry. I could not find a US manufacture that was producing custom pet jewelry urns.

In the fall of 2009 I watched my princess Shelby start to slow down. I knew the medication that she had been on would slowly cause her death. It’s emotionally difficult and draining to watch someone slowly head towards the Rainbow Bridge. From the dog that once jumped onto the couch, to the dog that now looks at the couch like a great challenge but continues to wind her self up to attempt to hit part of the landing.

Over the course of a year I enlisted the help of several new people in the jewelry industry. Five designers with two CAD specialist, three jewelry manufacturing facilities and 12 months later we are proud to announce the launch of "The Arms of an Angel" pet urn. We've designed a pet cremation necklace that truly reflects the love and devotion we share with our pets.

It's funny how death can motivate you do to great things. Creating a Sterling Silver pet urn pendant made in the USA from recycled silver to honor my "Heart Dog" has truly been a joy in my life to master. Our pet cremation pendant is the first design in our new pet urn collection. Watch for more new pet memorial jewelry in the coming years.

Winner of 2012 PET AGE Pinnacle Award

Sterling Silver Healing Angels heart shaped memorial pendant elegantly captures the grief and hope held in the hearts of all who have lost a beloved member of their family. Beneath the leash bail, the sweeping arcs of each half of the heart meet. They continue on to turn back into themselves, much the way those who are special to us come into our lives and make a connection then continue on their own journey. Inside the curvature of each side of the heart holds three layers of beautifully sculpted angel wings which cascade to the bottom point of the heart. The antiquing of the base of the feathers on the wings create lovely shadows that add dimension and mirror the grief we feel, while also highlighting the glimmering Sterling Silver that reflects every happy memory we cherish. Healing Angel’s memorial charm offers hope and comfort as the angel wings come together in a gentle embrace to tenderly a beloved pet across the Rainbow Bridge.

Angel Memorial charm can be engraved on the back side of the memorial keepsake with up to two lines of text, 6 characters in each line. This unique remembrance gift can be personalized with a name, date or another heartfelt message to offer comfort and inspiration.

• Sterling Silver Healing Angels pendant beautifully complements Angel Memorial dangle earrings.
• Healing Angels is a sympathetic pet memorial gift for a friend whose pet has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
• Inspirational pet jewelry is a thoughtful gift for someone whose pet has died.
