How to Order from the Couture Collections: Anything from these pages which is still available, or the ordering of similar styles, is handled through e-mail consultation. If you see a style you like, or like the flavor of a collection, e-mail me a good photo of your dog and how much you would like to spend, and what necklace or collection appeals to you. I will be happy to adapt any of these looks to fit most budgets.  Email Karen at surreyhill@zoominternet.net

"Florissant designs are inspired by my experience of living and traveling in Colorado, the desert, and the Rocky Mountain West. These designs make heavy use of natural semi-precious stones and polished rocks, copper, silver, and bone, and have a Western flavor to them. Many of the designs suitable for larger dogs or for male dogs are to be found in this collection. Hematite, jasper, agate, and snowflake obsidian can be found to varying degrees in most of the designs, along with wood and copper. But for those of you who like Bling, never fear--some of these designs have just enough added Swarovski crystal to still have plenty of sparkle in the light. Los Pinos, Silverton, and Sonoma are available from this collection as stock necklaces and can be seen on that page. Below, are examples of other designs, which can also be seen on Facebook at Follow Your Lead. Couture custom necklaces from this collection range in price from $22-34, depending on stones and size of necklace."

Endless Summer is a collection of fun, sea and coastal-themed designs for the shore lover in all of us. Whether you pick the deep kelp-green and black scheme of the Neah Bay necklace or the fun, fishy Bimini design, or choose one of our popular "surfer dude" necklaces, the Endless Summer collection has something to offer almost every dog or owner. The Crush, Margaritaville, and Bimini patterns are available as stock designs. This collection has a number of designs that are suitable for "dudes". Below are some other examples of our fun, sea-themed design work. Stringing material ranges from Jellycord to salmon leader wire. If you need something tough and durable, we can make it up in a necklace from this collection"

The Luxor and Karnak collection is African and Egyptian-themed, and is specifically targeted at breeds from that part of the world. Exotic stones and pharoahic designs for your King or Queen of the Nile. Marble, Lapis, Tiger Eye, onyx, carved scarabs, and wood with lots of golden accent beads are to be found here, as well as a number of designs which are suitable for male dogs. From this collection, only the Kalahari and Karnak models are sold as "stock" designs. Necklaces in this collection average $25-40, depending on stones and size. Below are typical examples of the designs I am constantly making for this collection.

City Lights is our "girly-girl" collection. This is where a lot of our serious bling can be found. Heavy on the Swarovski crystal and other faceted and fire-polished beads for maximum sparkle and shine in both natural and artificial light, these necklaces are guaranteed to dazzle. Because of the higher cost of the Swarovski elements found in many of these designs, this is our highest priced collection, with prices up to $60, but there are plenty of choices available in the $20-25 range. Because these crystals are expensive, we only string them on durable monofilament or wire, and have a clasp or toggle to secure them. Princess Pea and Shopaholic are the two necklaces from this collection which are available as stock. If you see a color or style you like, e-mail me with a photo of your dog, and we can talk about something extra-blingy that fits your budget.

 "Empire is a collection inspired by Celtic, Roman, and northern European influences from a more heroic age. This collection emphasizes bronze and copper, with sparkling art glass and golden accents. Regal necklaces suitable for male dogs can be found in this collection. Check back around St. Patrick's Day, as we will be adding some Celtic-themed designs. Necklaces from this collection are all quite reasonable at $18-30. Germanicus and Malachite are currently the only stock designs available from this series. Check the stock necklace pages for more detail. All these necklaces are made tough, as they are mostly designed for active male dogs."
