Foo Dog Charm Sterling Silver Facing Left | Chinese Jewelry | Made in USA
The Foo Dog — ancient China's mythical guardian lion — cast in solid .925 sterling silver and proudly Made in USA. This left-facing foo dog measures 3/8" x 5/8" and carries 3.8 grams of real silver weight.
Each piece starts as a hand-sculpted wax model, encased in investment plaster, then burned out at 1,350 degrees. Molten sterling silver fills the mold under centrifugal force, capturing every curl, fang, and flowing mane in sculptural 3D relief.
In Chinese tradition, foo dogs — also called shishi or guardian lions — have stood watch outside temples, palaces, and homes for over two thousand years. The left-facing lion is traditionally female, representing the yin energy and nurturing protection. This charm captures the characteristic bulging eyes, open mouth, and ornate curls that define these legendary protectors. A sterling silver jump ring comes attached and ready for your chain or bracelet.
Ideal for anyone drawn to feng shui, Asian art, or Chinoiserie decor. A thoughtful gift for a housewarming, a new business opening, or anyone who could use a little extra protection on their wrist.
