Custom Labradoodle Charm Bracelet: Bonnie & Murphy

I love making custom jewellery for dogs who are very much still here, enjoying life with their families.

This story started when Jennifer contacted me about creating a custom charm bracelet featuring her two Labradoodles, Bonnie and Murphy.

She sent me photographs of the two of them, including one of them in the bath, which immediately made me smile. There is something about muddy, wet and slightly bedraggled dogs that tells you they're probably having a pretty good time!

Jennifer loved the finished bracelet, and I was delighted with how the two little Doodles turned out.

And then, recently, something lovely happened. Jennifer commented on one of my posts to say how much she still loves her Doodle charm bracelet. That genuinely made me smile.

It's one thing to hear that someone loves a piece when it first arrives, but knowing that they're still wearing it and enjoying it years later is even more special.

And in this case, Bonnie and Murphy are still very much part of Jennifer's everyday life. They're not memories from the past. They're the two Labradoodles who are still out there enjoying adventures, getting muddy, having baths and generally keeping life interesting.

I love that their little silver charms can be worn alongside Jennifer while the real Bonnie and Murphy are still out there making memories with her. That's exactly what custom jewellery can be about too, celebrating the dogs we love while they're still here.

If you would like to have your own dog recreated in silver, even from older photographs, I would love to see them. You can read more about my process here: Custom Pet Jewellery.

Who knows? Your precious friend might just be the next one I’m smiling about at my workbench.
