The Animal Jewelry Market Niche
© 2005 by Angela Davis; all rights reserved
Animal jewelry is a popular way for people to express their love and appreciation for their pets and other animals. It's an ideal gift to give to animal lovers. Animal jewelry is a broad market niche, and pieces are available in almost every conceivable size, shape, form, and price range, for all age groups - such as a sophisticated bird brooch for a woman, tiger cufflinks for a man, or a monkey necklace for a child. The most popular motifs for designs include dolphins, cats, horses, and dogs. The most valuable pieces are made of precious metals and decorated with precious and semiprecious stones. Animal jewelry is available in various specialty stores, jewelry stores, antique stores, and boutiques. It can also be found in some department stores, and gift shops in museums and zoos. Animal lovers who can afford it can even have pieces made according to their specifications. Much of the available animal jewelry is in the form of charms, totems, and pendants. In certain cultures they are considered to be quite lucky and are worn as good luck charms. Animal rings are also quite popular. Another popular style of animal jewelry is picture bracelets. These have separate links that may be either circular or box shaped, with a picture or engraving of an animal inside. Designs may include wolves, turtles, snakes, bear claws, otters, elks, and deer, among many others. Other animal jewelry includes necklaces, earrings, armlets, belt buckles, cufflinks, and even body jewelry - with themes like horses, dolphins, butterflies, geckos, elephants, frogs, ladybugs, etc.
