Fine Jewelry Goes To the Dogs - And Cats: Jari Limited

We know that nowadays people don't seem to be sparing any expense when it comes to spoiling their furry friends. And Jari Limited in the UK, is no exception.

They create exceptional fine jewellery (or jewelry) for cats and dogs. And not just gem studded and embedded collars but necklaces, anklets and yes.. even cuffs! They will create matching sets for pet and owner as well.



Beautiful, made to order collections for both you and your pet using precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones, all ethically sourced.

All of their items are made to order, allowing you to alter the type and colour of precious stones used and choose the quality of the metals used, 9ct, 18ct yellow or white gold, or platinum.

Each piece is hallmarked with the unique Jari stamp and is engraved with the collection and edition number. This also allows you to have your own unique message or security information added to the piece at the same time, if you wish. They are all produced to the highest quality, in the UK with magnetic safety fastenings. Even the Jari collar tags are available in all forms of gold.

Jari is not only a creative and original company, it's a socially responsible one.

Funky Find Of The Week: "Milk Gone Bad" Lamps

Milk Gone Bad:
Two different artistic experiences come together in this project. Anatomic factory’s objects meet Bombo’s illustrations, giving us food for thought on the ambiguity of products that often have a hidden second nature.

“Milk Gone Bad” is a collection of eight lamps somewhere between toys and furnishing complements. Made like milk cartons, each piece is one of a series. The light turns on to show the product’s real contents, a startling imaginary world of mold.






Each Milk Gone Bad lamp above is available for purchase here.
