Delicate Sterling Mike

Thoughty Little Things
 It was my Mother's word, when she was gleefully impressed, "Why, wasn't that thoughty of you?!"
These little bracelets will make the thoughtiest of gifts when you need to say, "THANKS!" or just, "I've been thinking about you..." We'll put one in a gauze bag for your or friend, tuck it into one of our foil gift envelopes and include your message on one of our cut-out note cards- all included in the price.
Bracelets include silver or gold overlay, Swarovski crystals, and sterling or bronze 8Ball charms (bronze ones are double-sided!) Three on the left are 7", two on the right are 7.5".
Price: $30.00

8Ball
 8Ball is our Main Man- er...greyhound. Not only because he's so highly admired, but because his shape accommodates so many different uses. You'll see all three sizes of 8Ball often on our website, and an even tinier version as well - as in earring studs on this page.
The first, and original size is available as a charm, with a spring ring for affixing to your bracelet, and as the one shown here, with a fixed bail set perpendicularly. He measures .75" from side to side. $35. We do have both 14K Gold pendant and charm in stock for $300.
The Large 8Ball is available as a small broach and measures an even inch in width. $50.
XL 8Ball is a highly noticeable piece, measuring 1.25" across. You'll see him mounted upon some stunningly large jewels, or all by himself as in this picture with both hidden tubular bail for wearing on a chain or pin for wearing as a broach. It was one of our customers who insisted he have both- an excellent idea, too! $85.
We often have a 14K Gold version of the original 8Ball in stock. Just ask!
Price: $35.00

8Ball & Bracelets
 Slip a Snake Chain through its bail and wear 8Ball as a pendant. Or purchase with one of these two bracelets and add delicate decor to your watch hand. 8Ball is a versatile greyhound - a perfect gift!

Bangles (Reworked!)
 We admired how each end of the square sterling wire encircled the other - and we purchased a number of these bangle bracelets. They were originally offered with an 8Ball charm for $40 each.
Unfortunately, they didn't sell well.
Let's see how you feel about these newly re-worked bangles to make them more .... uh.....bangly!
Now, a pair of bracelets are coupled by the rings which dangle 8Ball and a tiny Birgitt Bauble independently. Only one of the Gold Fill bracelets remain - we've still added the Birgitt's spot of sparkly color, but being a single bracelet, it is priced accordingly.

Brynn In The Pink
 It's Rhodocrosite, actually, but its curving pattern makes it appear Brynn is about to take the curve at the end of the track (like Brynn ever saw a track!)
This pretty little pink pendant is fully encasd n sterling and measures 1" in width.
Price: $55.00

Ethnic Artistry
 Those images on the bottom are the opposite sides of the top row. Each one is inlaid differently and their rustic construction only adds to their charm.
I would have purchased more of these colorful ethnic pendants had they been available. With Brynn on one side, and Tiny 8Ball on the other, they're bound to draw attention to both your neck and your greyhounds!
Price: $65.00

Framed Greyhound Pendants
 Flower Girl, 8 Ball, and Mike all reside within a similar sized frame measuring 1.375" including the bail. We've gathered these sterling silver designs together here to make it easier to choose among them.
Recognizing that most of you already have a collection of chains, we price most of our items independantly in order to keep prices down. Should you need a chain, however, we've got those, too!
Price: $55.00
|
Glass Hearts With 8Ball
 Colorful as they are, this little glass hearts will make a delicate statement whenever they're worn.
Impossible as it is to measure a round heart, you'll have to judge size by 8Ball, who is .375" across. An 18" Snake Chain is included.
Price: $45.00

Greyt Dog Tags!
 We're sorry, but we've run out of dog tags and our suppler had no more on hand. Continuously popular, they'll be back, we just don't know when...
What could be more obvious for greyhound jewelry than dog tags? Duh. Why didn't this occur to us long ago?
Take your choice of Mike or 8Ball, or purchase both and let them jingle together on the same chain as we do!
These sterling dog tags are 1.25" in height (if you don't include the bail) and comes upon a 16" bead chain. Add $3 for 18" and $5 for 20" sterling bead chain from which to dangle your tag(s).
I wish we had the capability of engraving them- but we don't. Personally, we like them plain- in a family like the Brockhoff's, if we engraved them, we'd have to wear seven tags!

Hinge Bracelet With a Twist
 The photo provides all the description that you'll need.. other than size, which isn't easy! Most of these hinge bracelets look the same to us- all size "medium", with the exception of one not yet photographed which appears to be larger than the others.
Price: $65.00
|
Hollow Hinge Bracelets
 How else would one describe these?
Similar to the original hinge bracelets and those with a twist, only these two greyhounds rest upon a hollow pillow rather than a plain flat face.
Both are medium in size.
Price: $65.00

HS: Round Step
 The most delicate of this new collection, the Round Step pendant dangles Tiny 8Ball and is suspended from a 14" twisted rope chain.

HY: Bracelet of Many Colors
 Like Joseph's Technicolor Dreamcoat, this bright niobium bracelet may just want to make you sing, cheerful as it is! With all the varied stones of the other bracelets shown on this page, this Bella Rosa bracelet is more diminutive, thus we've included two small charms, each of them double sided, to hang on either side of the clasp with Holly Yashi's little hallmark tag. 7"
Price: $160.00
|
HY: Icicle Necklaces
 We couldn't resist these delicate "Cascading (Swarovski) Crystal Necklaces", but even then, we had to select from seven different colors! The 3" dangle hangs from the center of the necklace which can be worn at either 15" or 19".
Our choices were:
Grey Multi in Sterling Silver (left)
"Pink Multi" in Gold Fill (center)
and "Jungle" in Gold Fill on the right. Tiny 8Balls are of sterling or bronze.
Price: $100.00

Price: $195.00
|
HY: Nameless Bracelet w/8Ball
 We've been saving this bracelet for quite a while- and no longer shown among the company's products, I don't know it's name! But it's time to let it go. We've had bronze 8Balls mounted on special little silver backgrounds so as not to interfere with the original design- an expensive endeavor we won't be repeating! 7.5".
SOLD
|
HY: Niobium Earrings
 Shimmery & shiny, the niobium designs of Holly Yashi are inspired by nature.
8Ball is but 3/8" across- everything else is relative (so to speak).
Price: $50.00

HY:Eternal Flowers (Pink)
 Similar to the other Eternal Flowers necklace pictured above, this one makes use of amethysts and sage niobium.
SOLD

 A less costly version of Johnson's sterling and opal bracelets, this one is in brass with faux opals.
SOLD

JH: Lapis Bracelet
 Similar with its swirls to Johnson's opal bracelet, this one has an extra, prettily stamped band.
Price: $125.00

JH: Opal Earrings
 Tiny and delicate, these faux opal earrings drop only 3/4" from the bottom of the ear wire where 8Ball attaches. Those in the upper right corner are just a tad lighter in hue than those in the opposite lower corner.
Price: $50.00
|
JH: Square Rings
 Appropriate for men or women, Johnson's square rings are unique to begin with- but with Brynn? Fascinating and certain to draw attention.
Price: $90.00

 Three tiny and ultra shimmery true opal rectangles are flexibly hinged together and adorned with 8Ball.
1.625" X .5" of pure blue elegance.

Price: $65.00

MH: Boulder Opal
 There were very few of these boulder opals in Marta Howell's presentation at the trade show, and costly as they are, we purchased only three pieces. It wasn't until I arrived home that I learned the boulder opal pendants pieces were made by David Howell- Marta's husband!
So professional constructed are David's pieces, that one has sold, the second will appear in the Dewey Beach Art Show, and this third one remains.
Opals are a real challenge for me to photograph- all those blue and green stripy lines actually glitter as opals do, like secrets hidden inside the patterned stone.

Moonstone 8Ball
 8Ball rests atop a pillow of shimmery moonstone, gracefully framed in sterling. 1" square.
Price: $60.00

MOP 8Ball
 That stands for "Mother of Pearl"!

Just include shipping address and personal sentiment in the comments box on the order form (NOT in the "Ship To" field which requires your OWN address! Go figure!)
Price: $40.00

Northcoast Dave
 "No! Dave", our first greyhound, won our hearts over to retired racers long ago and well deserved to represent Northcoast Greyhounds from our very beginnings.
Even longer ago, the original, more exotic version of this design from which our logo dog evolved, was created by Anita Gersch- we didn't even know it at the time and now, all these years later, Davie is still making new friends for us!
Toe to toe, Dave's sterling broach measures 2.5" in length and 1.25" in height. i
Price: $85.00
|
Not Your Mother's Pearls
 This pretty "cordial" is from my Mother's wedding crystal- but they're not her pearls! (These are more affordable!)
From 8Ball's back to bottom edge, these earrings measure just about one inch in length.
Price: $50.00
|
Silver & Stone Bracelet #1
 This bracelet, which clips together at one side of Brynn's turquoise and onyx bacground, measures 1.75" across- that's the best we can do for sizing!
Price: $85.00
|
Silver Lockets
 Hinged on the bottom, the locket folds out when the little screw at the top is loosened, revealing frames for two pictures. The rectanglular locket is 7/8" in height, without including its bail.
Price: $75.00
|
Studs
 Not greyhound studs- earring studs!
Brynn, the widest of the three, measures a little more than half an inch in width.
Available in 14K Gold, too, for $195.
Price: $40.00
|
Turquoise Dangle
 Adding a second bail to Tiny 8Ball opened innumerable opportunities for him, so we did the same with the original 8Ball. This piece makes its debut in the 3/4" size. We have three pieces available.
A 16" snake chain is included.
Price: $75.00

¡L! Bracelet
 I cannot think of a word to adequately describe the beauty of this bracelet- so "Bracelet" will have to do. A large size 8Ball adorns the centerpiece with a pair of little Brynns on either side.
SOLD!
|
¡L! Delicately Dangly
 A favorite- as a matter of fact, I'm keeping a dangly turquoise one! (Because I can!)
The sizable rectangular bail on the back of this pendant keeps it from laying flat for a photograph, but it means it would look greyt on a neck ring!
SOLD!
|
¡L! Exquisite Mosaic
 Each of Ms. Foster's pieces are signed, of course, but we've pictured the back of this one to better show its form and how the delicate pattern curves over the top.
Many of the ¡Libertad! pieces have large bails allowing them to work with collars or neck rings as well as chains.
SOLD
|
¡L! Graduated Squares
 Of all those we purchased in our original order with ¡Libertad!, this piece was my favorite- and recognizing that fact, this duplicate was a personal gift to greyhounds from Michelle Foster.
Another reason to favor this talented artist!
Price: $125.00
|

 Just brilliant!
Price: $90.00
