Favourite Pets - Symbol Selection
Our original symbols of favourite pets are available on all of our handcrafted, sterling silver jewelry (necklaces, earrings, and bracelets) styles. Esther Winter, jewellery designer draws each original Winterchild symbol by hand. The symbol is then forged into a hardened steel stamp. Next, the stamp is hammered into the sterling silver to create an imprint. Final touches include curving the silver and polishing. Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
This symbol was created as a tribute to our feline friends. Cats are prime examples of independence and personality. I love that they always land on their feet and how they have perfected the art of lounging about and demanding all the love and attention they need!!!
Oh, how we love our dogs... their antics bring us smiles every-day! Who could ask for a better friend? Our dogs love and adore us and are as loyal a friend as we will ever know.
As the daughter of a rancher I started riding horses very young and recall proudly getting to skip kindergarten classes in order to help round up our cattle from the high range. My fondest childhood memories of my father are of these days.
Every winter, Yukoners avidly follow the progress of the dog teams participating in our world famous Yukon Quest. In the Yukon's past, however, the people of the north befriended the husky and relied heavily on it for survival. This image shows the oldest of friendships, the one between humans and dogs.
