Lhasa Apso Charm Sterling Silver | Dog Jewelry | Made in USA

At 4.5 grams of solid .925 sterling silver, this Lhasa Apso charm is Made in USA and is one of the heaviest dog breed charms in the collection. It measures 1/2" x 1/2" — because all that flowing coat requires serious silver to render properly.

Molten sterling silver at over 1,640 degrees fills every strand of the Lhasa Apso's legendary floor-length coat, every facial feature hidden beneath that distinctive parted hair, and the compact body underneath. The weight of this charm reflects how much detail is packed into a half-inch frame. After casting, each piece is hand-polished to a bright finish. The sterling silver jump ring comes attached and ready.

The Lhasa Apso originated in the monasteries and palaces of Tibet, where they served as interior sentinels for over a thousand years. Tibetan Buddhists believed that the souls of monks could be reincarnated as Lhasa Apsos before reaching their next human form. Despite their small size, Lhasas are known for their bold, assertive personalities and keen hearing.

A prized gift for Lhasa Apso owners, Tibetan culture enthusiasts, small breed dog lovers, or anyone who knows that the biggest personality often comes in the smallest package. Wear on a bracelet or chain as a daily tribute to your little sentinel.
