Heart with Pata Cachorro Pendant in 18K Gold

A heart in 18K gold with a dog paw print at its center — the bond, between owner and pet.

Pet pendants are a specific sub-category of sentimental jewelry — pieces dedicated to the relationship between a person and an animal. The dog paw — _pata de cachorro_ — is the most universally recognizable visual symbol for that bond.

This pendant places a paw print at the center of a heart silhouette, both rendered in 18K yellow gold. The heart frames the paw; the paw makes the heart specific. Two symbols of affection in a single form.

At 1.1 grams, the pendant is sized for daily wear. A piece for the wearer who carries a particular dog with them in memory or in current life.
