The image of a sleeping greyhound evokes a feeling of calm and contentment. Greyhounds are known for their speed and agility, but when they sleep, they exhibit a profound sense of peacefulness and trust. Wearing a brooch with this symbol can make you feel connected to these attributes, bringing a subtle reminder to embrace tranquility and appreciate the moments of rest amidst the busyness of life.

Sleeping Greyhound/Whippet Brooch in Sterling Silver

We think Greyhounds, Whippets and Lurchers are beautiful, sometimes graceful and sometimes funny. 

 


Hannah, a lovely jeweller who worked for us in our Worthing studio, had adopted rescue lurcher Sylvie (the sleeping beauty below) and we decided she would be the perfect model for our project.

It seems greyhounds and whippets spend a lot of their time sleeping, looking especially sweet with their long legs stretched out close to their body. So this is the position we chose for our greyhound brooch.

 

As with all our dog jewellery, I started by doing a little drawing to make sure I know what goes where and the size will be right. I then carved the miniature sleeping dog in wax and hollowed out the back so the brooch wouldn't be too heavy to wear. The wax was then being sent of to be cast in silver and once back, it was cleaned up, partly polished and brooch findings were soldered onto the back.
Also available as a necklace.
