ShadowDogDesigns is part of the ArtFire family of talented artisan's who love to use their hands in designing handmade gifts for people of all ages. Here's a little quote that Catherine lets her customer's know: "Unique Handmade Jewelry for the Discriminating Woman! I love working with gemstones and creating one of a kind pieces of jewelry that will last a life-time and, hopefully, be passed on to the next generation." Believe me when you see her design's they are definitely of heirloom quality. Now wouldn't it be nice to pass down a necklace, bracelet or set of jewelry to one of your family member's.
