Pets

Pets are a HUGE part of our families and saying "goodbye" to a beloved pet is one of the hardest life experiences to go through. I have been there too! We lost our furry baby, Whistler, a beautiful blue eyed Aussie X, a few years ago. He was OUR first - the pet we brought into our coupledom, before we decided to have children. Whistler, a rescue, lived a long healthy life of 15 years. However, we had to make some big decisions in his advanced age that brought anguish and guilt that we had never experienced before. My heart and my head were a mess for a long time as I grieved his pending loss and then mourned his loss.

So, as many desperate inquiries have come in over the years, I have served local families grieving the loss of a dog or cat by providing mould kits and making jewellery to give comfort and remembrance. Now, I am pleased that I can FINALLY offer pet impression jewellery, both "Innies" and "Outies" to anyone who desires to celebrate or remember their beloved furry sidekick.

pet collectionFirst you will need to order a DIY Pet Mould Kit. Your pet mould kit includes a larger amount of mould putty than the fingerprint mould kit - enough to get the impression of a dog nose or toe - but not a whole paw. The kit also includes online ordering instructions for selecting and paying for jewellery & a studio addressed envelope to return the mould. Browse the Pet collection

Please note: I do not see pets in my studio a DIY pet mould kit can be picked up if you are local.

      If you are a veterinarian, vet tech, or groomer mould kits are available in bulk if you would like to provide the mould service to your clients. Please email heather@swaysilver.ca for more information.

I am frequently asked, "Do you make jewellery with full cat/dog paws?" - A moulded cat/dog paw is too big - just imagine how much silver it would take. However, if you can email an ink/paint paw print image then I can use a different technique & shrink the print to a manageable size so it can be used on a silver pendant, such as the dog tag or heart.
Please, send me an email and I'll be happy to discuss it.
