First of all, PLEASE TAKE NOTE!

ALL animal totem and spirit jewelry is made with NATURALLY SHED fur groomed from live, happy, and well cared for animals that reside at wildlife sanctuaries or nature centers. No animals are harmed in the collection of this naturally shed fur. (Indeed, I groomed many of these animals myself, as I am an experienced animal handler and caretaker.)

And now that that has been taken care of:

Greetings!

My hope as an artist is to bring others lovely, hand-crafted jewelry that will help people feel closer to nature and the wonderful animals that inhabit this world.

The inspiration for creating animal spirit items comes from the animals themselves. I enjoy visiting, supporting, and volunteering for various animal sanctuaries, and wanted to carry a part of the animals I meet wherever I may wander. I also wish to share in the spirit of the animals and nature with others.

The animal totem charm necklaces and bracelets I craft are composed of gemstones, pewter and zinc alloy beads, a charm bottle containing naturally shed fur (obtained for a donation, art trade, or groomed myself) from many different animal sanctuaries across the United States, and a pewter charm of the species of animal that fur belongs to.

Currently, I am offering Gray Wolf, Timber Wolf, Black Wolf, Arctic Wolf, Arctic Fox, Red Fox, Silver Fox, Eastern Coyote, White Western Coyote/Coydog, Buffalo, gemstone totem charm bracelets. Animal totem charm necklaces are currently available in Arctic Fox and Eastern Coyote.

Animal totem charms, a smaller, less expensive item that include a pewter charm, lobster clasp, and a glass bottle filled with naturally shed fur are available from Gray Wolves, Timber Wolves, Black Wolves, White Wolves, and Eastern Coyotes.

Animal Spirit Pendant Necklaces, a much simpler and mostly unisex design, are also available for purchase. These come in most colors of Gray Wolf, several species of fox, coy-wolf, and Eastern coyote at the moment.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each animal item in my shop will be donated to the wildlife sanctuaries I support.
