Fine jewellery brand Lionheart has launched a new collection, Best Friend, featuring handmade gold and diamond medallions of dogs. Just in time for Valentines Day, these medallion charms with diamond accents are now available in either 14k or 18k gold and can be purchased as pendants and worn with any chain or charm bracelet or with a Lionheart signature gold chain.

“In fact, I have three pups of my own – Columbo, Charlie, and Pacino – all Shih Tzus who are always the very best part of my day!

“I wanted to create a way for dog fans like me to wear their favorite breeds, honor their favorite pup, or even to commemorate the loss of a four-legged family member. Dogs give us so much love and affection and joy.

“They ask so little in return. I want these charms to bring a smile or a loving memory to the faces of dog moms or dads for many years to come.”

The current breeds being offered include Shih Tzu, Golden Retriever, German Shepard, Dalmatian, Boxer, Bernese Mountain Dog, Beagle, Basset Hound, and Akita. Future designs will incorporate more breeds such as Poodles, French Bulldogs, and Yorkies.
