Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace, "Chinese Zodiac Dog"

Jantana designs a fabulous jewelry collection inspired by the Chinese zodiac. The style of the pendant recalls China's millenary paper cutting art known as jianzhi. It is masterfully cut by hand from a sheet of brushed sterling silver symbolizing the dog. People under this sign are said to be loyal, compatible and kind. Dogs frequently offer kind words and useful advice, always listening and lending a shoulder when necessary.

A sign under the Chinese zodiac is determined by year of birth rather than the day of birth. There are 12 signs, symbolized by animals. The particular sign rules a whole lunar year therefore it is only repeated every 60 years.
