Two paws make the heart, and a face sits inside it
The shape is the whole piece. Two paw shapes form the top lobes of an open heart, both arms of the heart are set with rhinestones, and a Yorkie's face rests in the space inside with one paw hooked over the lower edge. From across a room it reads as a paw and a heart, and the breed is the part only the wearer notices. That is why this one gets worn on ordinary days rather than saved for occasions. The full breed range sits under dog lover gifts by breed.
Nothing is uploaded, nothing is cast from your dog
Most of what ranks around a heart paw necklace is made to order. One page-one seller engraves your own pet's paw from a photo, an ink print or a clay print, and quotes eight to ten working days of production before anything ships. This is not that. The paw here is a designed shape rather than a scan of a real one, nothing is uploaded, and it ships as pictured. If you want the breed's face on its own instead of inside a heart, that is the Yorkie pendant.
What it is made of, said plainly
Zinc alloy base, rhinestone stones, plated finish, $29.99. Not sterling silver, not solid gold, not a real gemstone, and we are not going to print those words to make it sound like something it is not.
The pieces ranking on this search run from plated pendants in the forties at a department store up to precious metal in the hundreds. Plated pieces hold page one here on their own merit, so that is the honest comparison for this one. More of ours sits under women's jewelry.
Keeping the finish, and adding a name
A plated finish lasts on habits rather than on chemistry. On last, after perfume and lotion. Off before showers, swimming and the gym. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it dry rather than leaving it in a steamy bathroom, because sweat, chlorine and hairspray are what take plating down. If you want a name on the same chain, the engraved charm takes two lines of eight characters and hangs beside it.
Nothing about it has to fit
There is no ring size to guess at and no wrist to measure, which is most of the reason a pendant is the safe pet gift when you know the dog better than you know the person's taste in jewelry. The paw and the heart carry across a room, and the breed is the detail they find later. The rest of what we make sits under our pet jewelry.
