Pet Jewelry

We give precious gifts to our loved ones, reserving the most precious for those we regard with the greatest respect and affection. What kind of gift would we give a pet, then? With all the devotion, loyalty and love they have given us, don’t they deserve the best as well? Even something as precious as jewelry?

There is a wide variety of pet jewelry available in the market, so it would be best to plan your purchase so you know that you are getting the best possible buy for your budget.

The first question you should ask is where to buy it. While there are specialty boutiques that sell pet jewelry, you can also go to the Internet, where you’ll find hundreds of novelty items at online pet stores. You can also find pet jewelry at jewelry stores, antique shops, or department stores.

The second question you need to consider is what to buy. There is a plethora of possible pet jewelry items to choose from, but they generally fall into two categories: ready-to-wear items or personalised items. Nowadays, though, there are more personalised products that reflect both individuality and fashion trends, and you’ll be able to customise your pet jewelry in ay size, form, shape and texture that you desire.

The third question to ask if how much you are willing to spend. Depending on its material, pet jewelry comes in various price ranges, from the very affordable to incredibly expensive. The cheaper ones are embellished with precious or semi-precious stones. The high ticket items are made of gold or silver sterling, or even diamonds, rubies, or other expensive stones. You will also see pet jewelry with jet onyx, gold topaz, Swarovsky crystals, rhinestone, gemstones, or birthstones. Aside from the type of stones used, craftsmanship will also determine the over-all price of the item; the more intricate the design, the more expensive it becomes.

One of the more popular pet jewelry designs is a special brooch, necklace or charm bracelet that shows your pet’s breed. Some stores even offer twin-design charms for both pet-owners and pets. Other pet accessories include jeweled collars, dog tags, harnesses, necklaces and hairpins. Designs or shapes include hearts, crosses, flags, sports team logos, or anagrams with your dog’s initials.

You can also get a dog tag necklace that combines fashion and functionality by buying jeweled dog tag necklaces. Long-haired pets can wear cute little bows, fine necklaces, little trinkets, dog tiaras, dog clips. You can even buy them an elegant barrette or tiara for special occasions. Cat owners have an even broader range of possible pet jewelry options—by buying them jewelry made for people but in their size.

The wide variety of pet jewelry you can buy is a sign of how many more people are pampering their pets—and with increasing extravagance. Americans spent over $32.4 billion dollars on their pets last year, a larger percentage of it being lavished on 65 million dogs. Those are some very lucky pets.
