The Story Behind This Piece

Bred centuries ago to sit on royal cushions and still convinced the couch pillows belong to her today, a Shih Tzu is sweet, fluffy, and happiest when curled right against her mom’s side.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The Shih Tzu Pendant captures that chrysanthemum face and plumed tail in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze with 0.4 mm gold-on-gold coat etching. Arrives on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.
