About FiFi श्वानकण्ठिका

इयं केवलं श्वानकण्ठिका नास्ति, अपितु विच्छेद्यहारयुक्ता श्वानकण्ठिका अस्ति। फ्रीडा उत्कृष्टचर्म सुदृढपित्तलञ्च उपयुज्य निर्मितवती। अस्याः रूपरचनाकाले तया सरलं सुरक्षितं च हारसंयोजनस्य उपायः विचारणीयः आसीत् यदा श्वा कण्ठिकां धारयति। हारं विना अपि कण्ठिकायाः वैभवपूर्णं स्पर्शं स्थापयितुम् आवश्यकम् आसीत्। विच्छेद्यहारस्य अनेन रचनया स्वामी स्वेच्छानुसारं स्वश्वानम् अलङ्कर्तुं शक्नोति।

Unique Properties: This is not only a Dog Collar, it is a Dog Collar with a detachable necklace.
Frida is using a very nice quality leather with solid brass buckle, D ring and two smaller D rings rivets with a swivel head.
When designing this piece she had to consider a simple secure way of attaching the necklace while the dog is wearing the collar. The collar also had to have a luxurious feel without the necklace.

Necklace
Length 230mm
Width 140mm
Tags: dogcollar, leathercollar, solid brass buckle, dognecklace, dog jewellery, dog jewelry, semiprecious stones
Production Technology: I am using a very nice quality leather with solid brass buckle, D ring and two smaller D rings rivets with a swivel head.
The necklace is attached with to the collar with a toggle bar in brass that is connected to a solid copper chain.
From the chain hangs solid brass beads, turquoise, aventurine, chrysocolla, garnet, glass beads and swarovski.
When designing this piece I had to consider a simple secure way of attaching the necklace while the dog is wearing the collar. The collar also had to have a luxurious feel without the necklace.
Design Challenge: What I had to think about in this project was creating a high quality dog collar that looks good on its own. Then a necklace that was easy for the dog owner to attach, and sat on securely while the dog moves around.
Research: From having created both necklaces and collars for dogs since 2007, I have had many discussions over the years about quality and preferences, with the people who know best, the dog owners.
Inspiration: I have for many years been making necklaces for dogs, and it makes me so happy to see how comfortable most dogs are in a necklace. I have also been making dog collars.
It has always bothered me that the collar has to come off when the necklace goes on. Most dog owners like to keep the collar on, always. With this design, a detachable necklace, the owner can adorn their dog when they wish.
Project Duration: The initial idea for this project started in March 2016, the finished product was completed by 27th of September 2018.
Operation Flow: The dog is able to wear his collar at all times. When the time comes for a special occasion the owner can easily attach the necklace on the collar.
