Basset Hound Charm Sterling Silver | Made in USA

The Basset Hound — all ears, all nose, and absolutely no hurry — rendered in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. At 1 gram and 3/4" x 1/2", this charm captures the breed's low-slung, long-eared profile.

The lost-wax casting technique, unchanged in principle for 6,500 years, produces the 3D depth needed to render the Basset's drooping ears, wrinkled brow, and heavy bone structure. After casting, hand-finishing through progressive polishing compounds creates a mirror-bright surface on every curve.

Basset Hounds were bred in medieval France to track rabbits and hare — their name comes from the French "bas," meaning low. With the second-best nose in the dog world (after the Bloodhound), Bassets have 220 million scent receptors packed into those long, sweeping ears that funnel scent toward the nose. This charm faithfully depicts the breed's distinctive silhouette. A sterling silver jump ring comes attached.

Perfect for Basset Hound owners, scent-hound enthusiasts, and anyone who has waited patiently while their dog investigated every single blade of grass on a walk. A fitting gift for hunters, hound lovers, or anyone who needs a reminder to slow down and enjoy the journey.
