Adorable Shih Tzu Dog Breed Charm - Sterling Silver Jewelry for | Made in USA
For the Shih Tzu parent who marks every birthday, adoption anniversary, or first-year milestone with something lasting, this charm offers a keepsake that matches the occasion. The flowing coat, upturned face, and confident bearing of the breed are rendered in .925 sterling silver at 2.9 grams — a compact 1/2" x 9/16" sculpture that sits lightly on a bracelet yet reads unmistakably as the lion dog of the Ming Dynasty court.

Lost-wax casting — a technique dating back 6,500 years — is what makes the fine coat detail possible here. The wax model is encased in investment plaster, burned away at 1,350 degrees, and replaced with molten sterling silver pressed by centrifugal force into every contour of the Shih Tzu's long double coat and characteristic pushed-in muzzle. Multi-stage hand-polishing with tripoli compound and rouge brings the finished surface to a bright, clean shine. Made in USA.
The Shih Tzu's name translates from Mandarin as "lion dog," a nod to its origins as an exclusively imperial companion during the Ming Dynasty — these dogs lived inside palace walls, unavailable to the outside world for centuries. Layer this charm onto a dog-breed charm bracelet, wear it solo on a chain, or give it to a toy-breed devotee as a portrait of their favorite companion.
