Bala French Bulldog Necklace

Ref No: GB008/20095

Design: Shakti Ellenwood is a renowned designer of ethical jewellery, whose handcrafted creations offer a unique blend of beauty and integrity. Her earthy, organic designs fuse an ancient feel with a contemporary aesthetic, incorporating diverse influences including the sacred symbolism of amulets and talismans, the sentimentality of the Victorian era, folklore and ancient civilisations, as well as her own travels across the globe. Inspired by rituals from Egypt, India and the Amazon, Shakti crafts every design using sung mantras and icaros to imbue blessing and protection for its wearer – a prayer captured in gold.

Style Notes: Meet Bala the French bulldog. This ethical pendant is a symbol of loyalty and unconditional love, something all humans require in order to thrive. The pendant was designed for Shakti's daughter Paloma's 10th birthday, and she was overjoyed to see her favourite little dog handcrafted in gold. It is part of the Animal Amulets Collection, inspired by the Ancient Egyptians who wore jewellery as protection. The dog's medicine is reliability, nobleness, trustworthiness, friendship, protection and service.
