American Fox Hound Charm Sterling Silver | Dog Jewelry | Made in USA

The American Foxhound -- Virginia's state dog and one of the rarest AKC breeds -- cast in solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 2.2 grams, a faithful miniature of a lean and athletic hound.

The lost-wax casting process captures this breed's elegant proportions in a way that flat stamping never could. Each piece begins as a hand-sculpted wax model, invested in plaster, and burned out at 1,350 degrees before molten silver fills the mold. After casting, every charm is hand-finished through progressive polishing stages -- no two come out exactly identical, just like the dogs.

George Washington is credited with helping develop the American Foxhound breed, crossing English hounds with French hounds gifted by the Marquis de Lafayette in 1785. The result is a tall, lean hound built for speed and endurance over rough terrain. This charm shows the breed's characteristic long legs, deep chest, and gently arched back -- the silhouette of a dog born to run.

A distinctive gift for Foxhound owners, hound breed enthusiasts, or American history buffs who appreciate Washington's lesser-known legacy. Wear on a charm bracelet, hang from a necklace chain, or pair two with ear wires for hound dog earrings. Perfect for hunt club members or Virginia heritage celebrations.
