Dogcraft Jewellery & Collectibles in your Breed is a small family business run by Sally and Barry Murphy in Basingstoke in the South of England. Sally is responsible for all the art and design work and crafting of the 'stones', while Barry does the final cleaning and mounting and setting of the jewellery.

We have been making jewellery, mostly kiln-fired enamels, for over 25 years, but about 12 years ago, after taking a trade stand at 'Crufts' we started to develop our new ideas for jewellery for dog lovers using a form of 'cold enamelling' with acrylic resin.

At first all the designs were produced from Sally's original paintings, but with the growth of requests for more and more different breeds, and orders for custom made items of customer's own dogs, many of the designs are now reproduced from photographs with the aid of a computer.

Requests for our jewellery and collectibles has not stopped with dogs, and our orders for custom made items have been many and varied. Cats and horses are so popular that we are now carrying some as stock designs, but more unusual items we have made include Orang Utan earrings and a budgerigar bracelet, as well as children and wedding photos. As long as we have a good clear photo to work from, virtually nothing is impossible!

We hope that owning a piece or jewellery or collectible with your pet's likeness will be a lasting keepsake and give you as much pleasure as we get from making it for you.
