A Gift for Ma from The Magic Zoo

Thursday is Ma's birthday and I am so excited about the gift I got for her this year.  It is a handcrafted piece of jewelry from The Magic Zoo.


What is The Magic Zoo?
The Magic Zoo is an online jewelry store for animal lovers where artist Merry Rosenfield creates handmade animal jewelry designs.  She designs both pet and wildlife jewelry that captures the human-animal connection.

And oh, how animal designs abound at The Magic Zoo.  Merry lives and works in Florida so she has tons of inspiration right outside her window.  Her designs include critters such as butterflies, bunnies, horses, chickens, monkeys, raccoons, iguanas and turtles as well as pets like cats, dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters.  I think there is an animal design for everyone...and if you can't find what you want, Merry will accept custom orders!


The Magic Zoo Dog Jewelry Designs
OK...I am going to focus on The Magic Zoo Dog jewelry since I am a dog and since Ma's gift is one of Merry's dog designs.  Of course, there are plenty of cat designs and dog/cat combination designs for those who have multiple pets.  Seriously, you gotta check them out because they are all so cute.

Now, if I counted correctly - from Basset Hounds, Beagles and Corgis to Dobermans, Pit Bulls and Rottweilers - there are over 50 breeds of dogs represented in The Magic Zoo.  But if you can believe it, there are no Cairn Terriers.  *shakes head in disbelief* 


Thankfully, there are Westie (West Highland White Terrier) designs and anyone who knows anything about Cairns and Westies knows that Westies and Cairns were originally the same dog (that is until the people who owned the white ones wanted their dogs to be called something "special" BOL).  I found 12 different pieces of Westie jewelry at The Magic Zoo including earrings, necklaces and pins made of either pewter, sterling silver or gold that priced in a range from $18.00 US to $1,080.00 US. 

I chose the Pewter Westie Necklace for Ma because 1) the pewter made the Westie look more like a Cairn and 2) I wanted her to have a fun necklace for everyday.  I love how the design looks a lot like me!  I sometimes think it is difficult to capture a scruffy terrier in jewelry but Merry and The Magic Zoo did a great job of capturing the spirit of the Cairn Terrier (or Westie). 


I have wrapped up the Pewter Westie Necklace for Ma so I can give it to her on Thursday.  I know she will be happily surprised with this well-made, handcrafted gift.  If you need a gift for an animal lover on their next birthday or special occasion, I highly recommend the many designs at The Magic Zoo!

Are you represented at The Magic Zoo?  Which design would you choose?

    You look so sweet in the last photo. Those are dreamy eyes, hay wait are you Dog McDreamy?
    So your Mom has a July birthday also. My Lee was born in July. Those born under the sign of Cancer, ruled by the mysterious Moon, are one of the zodiac's enigmas. Is your Mom an enigma??
    Oz you got your Mom a terrific gift. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your MOM.
    Thanks for being a friend

    1. I look at the jewelry and Lee said she liked the $2,772.00 gold Scottie Pin.
      Guess I won't be getting Lee that for her birthday since I don't have pockets.
      You got pockets Oz?

  19. No Cairn's?! What would Dorothy and Toto say?! This is really beautiful, intricate design. I love the elephant. I checked out their site and they actually have some lovely Husky designs too, most companies don't make Husky designs. The Husky pendant is really nice.

  26. Happy Birthday to your mom! Pawsome jewelry. I saw Poms on the page. The gold ones look like me, but aren't as affordable as the silver ones. Maybe they will have gold plated ones someday. :)

  34. You did a great job birthday shopping Oz! I love the necklace and since Pierre is one of those "special" Westies, it would make an awesome gift for my daughter. She misses Pierre so much and it would give her something to have close to her until he moves in with them this fall. I'll go check out the Basset Hounds for myself! ☺☺

  41. We have a necklace from The Magic Zoo too! It's a rat pendant, which you may or may not remember. I love it because it helps me remember Nibblet. Really love that they have ALL kinds of animals and dog breeds.
