Boston Terrier Charm Sterling Silver | French Bull Dog Jewelry | Pet Jewelry | Made in USA

The "American Gentleman" of the dog world — the Boston Terrier — rendered in solid .925 sterling silver and proudly Made in USA. This 2.9-gram 3D charm captures the breed's signature tuxedo markings and lively expression.

Lost-wax casting is a 6,500-year-old technique that produces sculptural depth no stamping or pressing process can achieve. Each wax model is encased in investment plaster and burned out at 1,350 degrees before molten silver fills every detail at over 1,640 degrees. The result is a fully three-dimensional charm with crisp features on every side.

The Boston Terrier's round head, short muzzle, erect ears, and compact body are all faithfully rendered. One of the first breeds developed entirely in the United States, the Boston Terrier descends from a cross between an English Bulldog and a white English Terrier in Boston around 1870. It became the official state dog of Massachusetts in 1979 — and the first American breed to be recognized by the AKC.

A thoughtful gift for Boston Terrier owners, terrier breed collectors, or proud Massachusetts natives. Add it to a charm bracelet, wear as a pendant, or pair two with sterling ear wires for earrings. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.
