Animal Necklaces

People choose an animal necklace for a reason — the dog they lost, the deer they see every autumn, the wolf they half-identify with. These are not cartoon charms. Each pendant is cut with real anatomical detail in 925 sterling silver, finished in silver, 18K gold plating or 18K rose gold plating, and shipped free from New York in 1–3 business days.

For pet owners

The Engraved Paw Print Necklace takes your pet's name and works equally as a memorial or a celebration. The Dog Ears Name Necklace is cut to the ear shape of your dog's breed with the name beneath — the piece people recognise instantly. For cats, the Cat Birthstone Necklace adds their birth month stone. The Sideways Paw Print is the subtle option if you would rather not explain it to everyone.

Woodland and wildlife

Deer run through this collection in several registers: the dainty Deer Necklace, the Majestic Deer Antler for something bolder, the Botanical Deer Medallion with foliage worked around the silhouette, and the Framed Deer Pendant. The Botanical Fox and the unisex Wolf Head Pendant carry the same level of detail.

Animals that hold a symbol

Several pendants set the Tree of Life inside the animal — the eagle for vision, the wild boar for courage, the badger for persistence, the sheep for gentleness. The whole group lives in Tree of Life Jewelry.

Materials and care

Every pendant is 925 sterling silver at its core. Gold and rose gold are 18K plating over that silver — never solid gold, never a brass base. Detailed pieces hold more surface area, so keep them away from perfume, chlorine and cleaning products and dry them properly after wear.

Common questions

Are these unisex? The wolf, boar, eagle and badger pendants read well on anyone, particularly on a heavier chain. The dainty deer and paw prints are cut smaller.

Which chain length? 18 inches is standard. 20–24 inches suits the larger pendants and broader frames.

Can I personalize them? The paw print, dog ears, cat and antler designs take a name or initial. The wildlife pendants are not engraved.

Will it tarnish? Sterling silver darkens over time, which is normal; a soft polishing cloth restores it. Plated finishes should be wiped rather than polished hard.
