Animal Charms

Cats with attitude, recognisable dog silhouettes, lucky elephants with the trunk raised, enamel birds and small paw prints — plus bees, butterflies and dragonflies, and the sea creatures: turtles, dolphins, jellyfish and starfish.

Animal charms are the most reliably personal thing you can buy someone. A paw print gets worn long after the wrapping is gone; a schnauzer silhouette specific enough to identify the breed lands better than a generic dog. The elephants here follow tradition with the trunk turned upward, which is the lucky direction and the reason the design has sold as well as it has.

Bought as birthday gifts, adoption-day gifts and memorial keepsakes, and worn daily by people who will absolutely tell you about their pet.

Every design here is an open cuff — no clasp, approximately 2.17 in (5.5 cm) inner diameter, flexing to fit most wrists, so there is no sizing to get wrong. $30 each, shipped ready to gift.
