About this Product
Celtic Dogs - Celtic hounds can be found in Celtic jewelry designs and paintings as far back as the 17th century. Celtic hounds symbolize hunting, healing, and the Otherworld in Celtic legends. Hounds were the traditional guardian animals of roads and crossways and are believed to protect and guide lost souls in the Otherworld.

Meet the Maker
I'm a huge fan of history and archeology. I'm fascinated and inspired by ancient metal-smiths and incorporate ancient Celtic, Pict or Norse patterns in my work. I'm excited to blend my skills into a wearable interpretation of Celtic art.
How it’s Made
Each item begins as a piece of sheet metal, copper, bronze, brass or nickel. After a pattern is transferred to the metal, the piece is etched in a salt-water solution. Each piece is cut, sanded, polished and the stem soldered on. A patina has been applied giving the metal that aged look. A clear polymer coating is applied to the face of the earring.
