For years pets have had an important role in my life. Today pets are treated as part of the family. They are taken on family vacations, receive presents for the holidays as well as their birthdays and have been adorned from head to tail from such things as bandanas to booties. Nothing is too good for our pets. I wanted to create a line for the jewelry connoisseur and their pets. For the past 25 years, I’ve had many of my champion dogs compete in the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club, as well as grace the covers for some of the most popular dog publications. I have sat on many boards of various dog clubs including the Animal Care and Control board for pet overpopulation. I’ve been fortunate enough to come from 3 generations of jewelers and casters that have done work for prestigious names like Harry Winston, Tiffany, Van Clef and Arpel and Cartier just to name a few. In this line I have combined my love of animals and jewelry to proudly unveil the collection known as: “FUZZEFACE” tm ©

The collection has been featured in National Jeweler, Professional Jeweler, Southern Jewelry News, Ocean, Lustre, Fido Friendly, Pet Age, Paw Luxuries, New York Dog, Boca, AKC Gazette and Vive magazines just to name a few. The pieces have even made their way to the MTV awards, Golden Globes, Emmys and Silver spoon events in Hollywood and has aired on Dateline NBC. The line consists of collars, pins, charms, necklaces, rings and bracelets for both the jewelry lover as well as our 4 legged Canine, Feline, and Equine friends. The copyrighted “FUZZEFACE” tm © collection for people and their pets can be made in 14 kt. or 18kt gold and is now available in Sterling Silver. We now have some thing for everyone!

While being brought up in New York and having a Jewish grandmother one can only imagine how Y.A.P. tm © (Yiddish Apparel for Pups) came to be!

When nanny as she was lovingly called: cooked, played gin rummy or anything else she did around the house she was always talking Yiddish…Oy Vey was as common as changing toilet paper! We really thought when we were younger that she did this so we couldn’t understand what she was talking about, it was almost like a Jewish pig Latin. As we got older and wiser these words really started to make sense at least to us and every other Jewish person in the room! She was not only loved by all but full of that old Jewish wisdom. She always said cookie follow your heart and dreams, do what you love and the rest will fall into place.

My love of animals and her words are echoed in these fun tank tops embroidered with Yiddish sayings that today would make her KVEL. (Glow with pride) 

ENJOY… Joyce, Poupon, Dijon, Harley, Tia, Cosmo & Max
