HY: Fragile Flower Featured Item!
 A face-forward photograph just wouldn't do justice to the graceful flower, Swarovski crystal at its center, standing up against its brilliant niobium leaf. The flower centerpiece is suspended from 8Ball and surrounded by an array of tiny semi-precious dangles. Adjustable from 16-18".

Price: $70.00

JH: Opal Bracelet Featured Item!
 Though this artist works with true opals as well, the faux opal in this bracelet makes it more affordable for greyhound lovers. Brynn just seems to fit this stone just perfectly!

MOP 8Ball Featured Item!
 That stands for "Mother of Pearl"!
If you need a thoughtful little gift for a friend, this little 5/8" tall rectangle featuring Tiny 8Ball is just the ticket. It goes with just anything! The price includes the 16" snake chain shown and gift wrapping, of course. We'll even include a greyhound gift card.
Just include shipping address and personal sentiment in the comments box on the order form (NOT in the "Ship To" field which requires your OWN address! Go figure!)

¡L! Turquoise Chandelier Featured Item!

Amazing Agates
 SAVE $5!
Our collection of agates was so popular when we first presented them, that we reordered twice! These gently domed agate discs, featuring 8Ball, measure 1.125" in diameter.
Now, with only these 4 remaining, and no more in site, we've reduced them by $5.
Shiny Ribbons by Charles Albert are also reduced.

Thoughty Little Things
 It was my Mother's word, when she was gleefully impressed, "Why, wasn't that thoughty of you?!"
These little bracelets will make the thoughtiest of gifts when you need to say, "THANKS!" or just, "I've been thinking about you..." We'll put one in a gauze bag for your or friend, tuck it into one of our foil gift envelopes and include your message on one of our cut-out note cards- all included in the price.
Bracelets include silver or gold overlay, Swarovski crystals, and sterling or bronze 8Ball charms (bronze ones are double-sided!) Three on the left are 7", two on the right are 7.5".
Price: $30.00

8Ball
 8Ball is our Main Man- er...greyhound. Not only because he's so highly admired, but because his shape accommodates so many different uses. You'll see all three sizes of 8Ball often on our website, and an even tinier version as well - as in earring studs on this page.
The first, and original size is available as a charm, with a spring ring for affixing to your bracelet, and as the one shown here, with a fixed bail set perpendicularly. He measures .75" from side to side. $35. We do have both 14K Gold pendant and charm in stock for $300.
The Large 8Ball is available as a small broach and measures an even inch in width. $50.
XL 8Ball is a highly noticeable piece, measuring 1.25" across. You'll see him mounted upon some stunningly large jewels, or all by himself as in this picture with both hidden tubular bail for wearing on a chain or pin for wearing as a broach. It was one of our customers who insisted he have both- an excellent idea, too! $85.
We often have a 14K Gold version of the original 8Ball in stock. Just ask!
Price: $35.00

8Ball & Bracelets

Bangles (Reworked!)
 We admired how each end of the square sterling wire encircled the other - and we purchased a number of these bangle bracelets. They were originally offered with an 8Ball charm for $40 each.
Unfortunately, they didn't sell well.
Let's see how you feel about these newly re-worked bangles to make them more .... uh.....bangly!
Now, a pair of bracelets are coupled by the rings which dangle 8Ball and a tiny Birgitt Bauble independently. Only one of the Gold Fill bracelets remain - we've still added the Birgitt's spot of sparkly color, but being a single bracelet, it is priced accordingly.

Brynn In The Pink
 It's Rhodocrosite, actually, but its curving pattern makes it appear Brynn is about to take the curve at the end of the track (like Brynn ever saw a track!)

Ethnic Artistry
 Those images on the bottom are the opposite sides of the top row. Each one is inlaid differently and their rustic construction only adds to their charm.
I would have purchased more of these colorful ethnic pendants had they been available. With Brynn on one side, and Tiny 8Ball on the other, they're bound to draw attention to both your neck and your greyhounds!
Price: $65.00

Framed Greyhound Pendants
 Flower Girl, 8 Ball, and Mike all reside within a similar sized frame measuring 1.375" including the bail. We've gathered these sterling silver designs together here to make it easier to choose among them.
Recognizing that most of you already have a collection of chains, we price most of our items independantly in order to keep prices down. Should you need a chain, however, we've got those, too!
Price: $55.00

Geodes
 Geodes are always fascinating, with their colorful crystals secreted within such ordinary looking rocks- but I'd never seen them transformed into jewelry- like this pendant.
This is the last of the 4 we purchased. It measures about .75" across.
Price: $50.00
|
Glass Hearts With 8Ball
 Colorful as they are, this little glass hearts will make a delicate statement whenever they're worn.
Impossible as it is to measure a round heart, you'll have to judge size by 8Ball, who is .375" across. An 18" Snake Chain is included.
Price: $45.00

Greyt Dog Tags!
 We're sorry, but we've run out of dog tags and our suppler had only larger and s,smaller tags available on this last trip to SF. These are continuously popular, so I'm leaving the picture up to assure you we're watching for more!
What could be more obvious for greyhound jewelry than dog tags? Duh. Why didn't this occur to us long ago?
Take your choice of Mike or 8Ball, or purchase both and let them jingle together on the same chain as we do!
These sterling dog tags are 1.25" in height (if you don't include the bail) and comes upon a 16" bead chain. Add $3 for 18" and $5 for 20" sterling bead chain from which to dangle your tag(s).
I wish we had the capability of engraving them- but we don't. Personally, we like them plain- in a family like the Brockhoff's, if we engraved them, we'd have to wear seven tags!
|
Hearts of Stone
 Not really- 8Ball is a greyhound, after all- he's got a soft and mushy heart.
But the hearts which dangle from these earrings are of natural stone: onyx, jade and amethyst. They're guaranteed to brighten your day when you dress the morning!
Price: $45.00

Hinge Bracelet With a Twist
 The photo provides all the description that you'll need.. other than size, which isn't easy! Most of these hinge bracelets look the same to us- all size "medium", with the exception of one not yet photographed which appears to be larger than the others.
Price: $65.00
|
Hollow Hinge Bracelets
 How else would one describe these?
Similar to the original hinge bracelets and those with a twist, only these two greyhounds rest upon a hollow pillow rather than a plain flat face.
Both are medium in size.

HY: Bracelet of Many Colors
 Like Joseph's Technicolor Dreamcoat, this bright niobium bracelet may just want to make you sing, cheerful as it is! With all the varied stones of the other bracelets shown on this page, this Bella Rosa bracelet is more diminutive, thus we've included two small charms, each of them double sided, to hang on either side of the clasp with Holly Yashi's little hallmark tag. 7"

HY: Icicle Necklaces
 We couldn't resist these delicate "Cascading (Swarovski) Crystal Necklaces", but even then, we had to select from seven different colors! The 3" dangle hangs from the center of the necklace which can be worn at either 15" or 19".
Our choices were:
Grey Multi in Sterling Silver (left)
"Pink Multi" in Gold Fill (center)
and "Jungle" in Gold Fill on the right. Tiny 8Balls are of sterling or bronze.

HY: Nameless Bracelet w/8Ball
 We've been saving this bracelet for quite a while- and no longer shown among the company's products, I don't know it's name! But it's time to let it go. We've had bronze 8Balls mounted on special little silver backgrounds so as not to interfere with the original design- an expensive endeavor we won't be repeating! 7.5".
Price: $200.00

HY:Eternal Flowers (Pink)
 Similar to the other Eternal Flowers necklace pictured above, this one makes use of amethysts and sage niobium.

Price: $55.00

JH: Opal Earrings

Malachite or Lapis?
 Of similar size (1.25" without the bail) and design, the lapis is a flatter stone and surrounded with a silver bezel, where the malachite stone is more of a cabochon and is fully encased in its silver backing.
Both are beautiful backgrounds for Grace!
Malachite has SOLD! Like the Lapis?

Memory Jewels
 Keep loved one's ashes close to your heart by wearing memory jewels.
The 1" oval, on the right, is adorned with Brynn in her cheerful scamper. 4 are available at $60.
The center pendant has sold out in the square, but we have the same size in a round pendant. It features Tiny 8 Ball, and could be the easiest to wear but most difficult to fill. At only half an inch in width, you can imagine the size of its neck.. Still, only a tid bit of your loved ones ashes will make this a meaningful keepsake... We have 2 priced at $45.

Northcoast Dave
 "No! Dave", our first greyhound, won our hearts over to retired racers long ago and well deserved to represent Northcoast Greyhounds from our very beginnings.
Even longer ago, the original, more exotic version of this design from which our logo dog evolved, was created by Anita Gersch- we didn't even know it at the time and now, all these years later, Davie is still making new friends for us!
Toe to toe, Dave's sterling broach measures 2.5" in length and 1.25" in height. i

Red Spiral
 It's red coral, of course, with 8Ball nestling atop a tiny silver spiral. So interesting we bought three.

 This bracelet, which clips together at one side of Brynn's turquoise and onyx bacground, measures 1.75" across- that's the best we can do for sizing!
Price: $85.00
|
Silver & Suede 1
 Its outer frame measures 1.5" tall, but this pendant still offers a delicate appearance with 8Ball as it's centerpiece.
The soft black suede threads are long-long-long, and we're leaving them that way for you to retie to personal preferences.
We have two pieces like this.
Price: $50.00
|
Silver & Suede 2
 A pair of interlocking squares, one shiny, the other brushed silver, frame 8Ball.
Together, they hang from a loooong soft strand of fuchsia suede for you to tie at any length you like.

Price: $75.00

Sodalite Centerpiece
 or... I suppose 8Ball is the centerpiece- either way, both the deep blue of sodalite and Tiny 8Ball in its center both stand out in their wide sterling frame. Heavy & shiny, the pendant has diameter of 1.25".
Price: $60.00

 Not greyhound studs- earring studs!

Available in 14K Gold, too, for $195.
Price: $40.00
|
Turquoise Dangle
 Adding a second bail to Tiny 8Ball opened innumerable opportunities for him, so we did the same with the original 8Ball. This piece makes its debut in the 3/4" size. We have three pieces available.
A 16" snake chain is included.
Price: $75.00
|
Turquoise Ear Wires
 Pretty little things- a bright spot of color without being ostentatious on either side of your face!
(Map pins are 1" in length.)
Price: $60.00
|
Wood & Sterling Mike
 Wood makes for a very lightweight pendant, even with Mike as decor and sterling trim. It was obvious that this pendant would make a perfect background for Mike, so I purchased three.
From the top of its tubular bail, the pendant measures just under two inches.
Price: $45.00

ZM: Family Tag Necklace
 We're proud to offer you these new necklaces from a long ago friend of our daughter's - we're both proud of Zoe and proud to represent such quality workmanship, personalized just for you!
The 18" chain is a large link, and thus adjustable. Zoe's hand-cut and hammered, brushed-matte finished tag measures approximately 1" X 1.5" (actual size of both tag and letters used will depend upon the names you choose to include). Zoe says "unlimited letters" but she is not (yet) familiar with greyhound names, so please be reasonable! You may include either 3 or 4 "kids" and unless you're particular, please allow the artist to choose order for best appearance. Of course if you prefer, you're welcome to order with tattoo numbers rather than names.
The silver chain being very slightly heavier than the gold fill chain, both colors are similarly priced.
Price: $125.00
|
ZM: Mommy Tags
 Why oh why didn't we have these in time for Mother's Day? Oh well- for those of us with greyhounds, every day is Mother's Day, right?
This antiqued Sterling Silver chain is anchored in front with a heart and arrow toggle bearing three tags featuring your choice of names or tattoo numbers- like the Family Tag, this is another quality creation by our friend Zoe in Encinitas, CA.
Order it in either 16, 18" or 20" length for $125, $135, or $145 respectively, and add as many tags as you like for an additional $20 each.
