Selkies are mythological Celtic sea creatures that can shapeshift between seal and human form, shedding their seal skin to come ashore.
This one is half way between, leaping out of the ocean with her human top and golden shimmering tail. The patterns on her tail are inspired by tumbling waves and Celtic spirals.
Each selkie is made to order just for you in my tiny home studio under the stairs using a handmade, origional stamp created by me. The design is impressed onto sterling silver, and a layer of 24k gold is applied using the ancient Korean technique of Keum Boo. It is then oxidised to highlight the textures and polished to make all the raised areas shine.
Please note that adding gold in this way can result in a crackled effect - it is not the same as smooth gold plating.
Comes gift wrapped, with an 18 inch recycled sterling silver chain.

Each piece of Dog Star Silver jewellery has been made with eco silver that has either been reclaimed or recycled - including all sterling silver chains and attachments. On the rare occasion that a small amount of non-recycled silver has been used in a particular design, it is always mentioned in the description.
Care information
Care information
To look after your Dog Star Silver jewellery keep it away from the shower or pool, let lotions & perfumes dry in before wearing, and take it off before playing sport or sleeping. Store your piece in a jewellery box, and if it ever dulls give it a little love by polishing it using a microfiber cloth, or use one of the polishing kits available in the 'extra's' section of the shop.
Pieces made using fine 999 silver are softer than the sterling silver ones and should be treated thus - please don't try to bend your jewellery or treat it harshly - it may break!
