Puppy Paws® Inc – paw-shaped jewelry and gifts for people who love animals – is pleased to introduce the expansion of its Hearts & Paws Collection to include Mom & Me - matching pendants for Moms and their “son or daughter” dog or cat.

The Hearts & Paws Collection features hand-crafted, heart-shaped beads with a sterling silver Puppy Paw Classic (without a gemstone) pendant. The beads are a whimsical combination of beautiful colors, textures and metals that come from around the world. The Mom pendants hang from an 18” sterling silver necklace. The matching “son or daughter” pendant is made with a sturdier memory wire with a clasp to easily clip onto a collar. Packaged together the pair of pendants have a suggested retail of $59.99.

“We began making matching dog/cat pendants upon request as soon as we introduced the Hearts & Paws Collection. As interest continued it was a natural step to create the matching pendants into sets.” explained Pamela Meltzer.” Each pendant is about 2” long and is accented with a wide variety of sterling silver and semi-precious gemstone beads as well as Swarovski™ crystal.

Puppy Paws® Inc began with a simple 14k “Classic Paw” pendant without gemstones. It retails for $109US. Additional Paws feature birthstones and range from $199 to $1200US. Many individuals wear the birthstone of their dog/cat. For rescue animals “ we encourage owners of rescue dogs to remember the month their dog came home and consider that month as a “re-birth” month. Then they can wear the birthstone of that month.” explained Ms. Meltzer, President of the Company. All pendants come with 18”, 14k or sterling silver chains.

For the cat lovers: Kitten Paws, are also available. Kitten Paws use the same paw design but feature a variety of Tiger's Eye and Cat’s Eye gemstones. Bunny and Ferret Track pendants recently followed as well as the Memory Paw that allows for pet cremains to be sealed inside the paw with resin enamel.

Puppy Paws® Inc. is a Pittsburgh-based designer of fine jewelry for animal lovers. The original Puppy Paws Collection features the “uni-species” paw available in either white or yellow 14k gold, available online at www.puppypaws.com, and in select jewelry stores and pet boutiques throughout the United States and Canada.
