Bob: A Dog With His Own Business!

Bob's story began with a husband planning a birthday surprise for his wife Sharon.

When Gareth first emailed me about his dog Bob, one detail immediately made me smile. Bob isn’t just a much-loved family dog, he has his own dog emporium, run by Gareth and his wife on his behalf. You can find him on Instagram @bemorebob, where his adventures and shop updates are shared with a lovely community of fellow dog lovers.

Gareth described him as a Borderdoodle, a Border Collie and Poodle cross. Bob had that intelligent collie expression paired with the softer, slightly scruffy charm of a poodle. In short, he was irresistible.

Some time later, I received the loveliest message, this time from Sharon:

“What a wonderful gift! I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful necklace for my birthday and it's now one of my most treasured possessions. My beautiful Bob now travels with me everywhere, both in pawson and in silver!”

There is something incredibly special about knowing a piece you’ve made has become someone’s most treasured possession. And when it features a dog who has his own shop and community following, that makes it even sweeter.

I loved creating Bob. He carries that perfect mix of personality and presence, and translating that into silver was a genuine pleasure.

If you’ve ever thought about having a custom piece made, I’d love to hear your ideas. 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.
