🐾 The Story Behind My Maker’s Mark: A Dog with a Heart

🐾 The Story Behind My Maker’s Mark: A Dog with a Heart

In every piece of jewelry I make, there’s a quiet signature—a small stamp of a dog with a heart. It’s more than a mark. It’s a memory, a promise, and a tribute to the companions who’ve shaped my life and my art.

For over 20 years, our home has been filled with dogs. Not just pets, but soulmates. They’ve curled up beside me during long nights at the bench, nudged me outside when I needed fresh air, and offered the kind of loyalty that words can’t quite hold. When I left my career in biotech and stepped into the world of silversmithing, they were there—underfoot, as always—reminding me that love is quiet, steady, and deeply grounding.

So when it came time to choose a maker’s mark, I didn’t want a monogram or a logo. I wanted a symbol that carried meaning. A dog with a heart felt right. It speaks to loyalty, protection, and the kind of love that stays—even when no one’s watching.

You’ll find this mark stamped into the back of every pendant, cuff, and earring I create. It’s my way of saying: this was made with intention. With care. With soul.

House of Dogs Art isn’t just a name—it’s a way of living. It’s about crafting wearable stories, honoring the bond between humans and animals, and creating pieces that feel like talismans. Whether you wear a crescent moon, a butterfly, or a heart-shaped stone, know that it carries this quiet, yet distinctive, signature. A dog. A heart. A story.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
