Judith Jack Dog Charm Bracelets

Judith Jack dog charm bracelets are as popular as they are hard to find. Read on to learn more about this innovative design team that combines the look of vintage jewelry with modern trends.

Judith Jack dog and cat -shown here- charms are beautiful and fun.

Judith Jack is actually the team of Judith and Jack Rosenberg, a couple of entrepreneurs who began their career in the jewelry trade by selling vintage pieces collected from estate sales.

Judith and Jack quickly noticed that out of all the pieces they sold, nothing went quicker than the jewelry containing vintage marcasite. Since their supplies were necessarily limited, the two decided to begin designing and producing their own marcasite jewelry, combining traditional vintage styles with fresh fashion trends.

The result of this savvy marketing plan is jewelry that appeals to collectors across every age group, and no single collection is a better example of this fact than Judith Jack dog charm bracelets.

Judith Jack dog charm bracelets are sought after by dog lovers and the general public alike. The light subject matter and the exquisite attention to detail of each charm makes them true collectors items.

The bracelet itself is a 7.25 inch long strand of sterling silver marcasite links with a standard clasp, but as always with charm bracelets, it's the charms themselves that garner all the attention.

Judith Jack dog charm bracelets include:

• A Dalmatian dog
• A brown Shepherd-style dog
• A brown dog biscuit
• A red fire hydrant
• A brown dog house

Individual charms sell for approximately $38-$48, and the bracelet set retails for $209.95, so if you want one, buy one now because Judith Jack only produces a limited number of each piece. Once they're gone, they tend to go up in price. When this happens you'll only be able to purchase them from private collectors and jewelry auctions, and they won't be found at a bargain.

In addition to the original Judith Jack dog charm bracelets, the company has released a new black poodle charm that can be added to the links. The style is pure vintage, in keeping with the original design, and makes a perfect addition to the piece.

Judith Jack releases five new collection every year, so who can guess which pups will appear in years to come? The only sure thing is that the popularity of these charms assures there will be more.

We've all heard of popular designers whose collections have been counterfeited and sold as the real thing. Louis Vuitton immediately comes to mind. Judith Jack jewelry bears a triangular double "JJ" hallmark on every piece. This is your assurance of authenticity, so look for it before you buy.

Since Judith Jack works almost exclusively with sterling silver and marcasite, it's good to know a little about these metals and how to care for them.

Marcasite is the modern name for a mineral we once called "Fool's Gold". Marcasite is actually iron pyrite, and it has been used to create jewelry for thousands of years. When cut and highly polished it has the reflective powers of a mirror, sparkling brightly in the light.

Marcasite and sterling silver charms and jewelry require extra care to preserve their finish and luster. Everyday toiletries like perfume and hair spray can leave a dull film that will affect the look of your pieces, so apply these products before you don your jewelry.

Cleaning tips:

• Sonic cleaners can damage your pieces. Always hand-clean Marcasite jewelry.
• Avoid liquid polish. It's too harsh and can ruin the finish on your charms.
• Buff your charms with a piece of plain white cotton T-shirt, or a fresh polishing cloth.

Judith Jack dog charm bracelets are fun, fancy and in short supply. If you want some charms of your own, the time to start your collection is now.
