Why choose HartVariations?
We only ever use cruelty-free + sustainably sourced creatures. Nature is precious & we understand why you're here --> to celebrate the beauty of the Earth through quality handmade talismans.
Celebrate your beloved pet with a custom Looking Glass necklace encasing either fur or whiskers. A wearable way to keep your dearly loved creature close to your heart - whether they are in this life, or the next.
Once you purchase this listing I will email you the address for where to send the whiskers or fur. Only a small portion is needed to create your remembrance piece - ie. one whisker will do just fine.
Please note this item is made-to-order and therefore WILL NOT SHIP until 2-4 weeks after the whisker/fur arrives. Custom work is a delicate process and needs to be planned in accordance.
The pendant measures 3/8" x 3/8" x 3/16" and comes with a 16.5" nickel-free chain. If you'd like a longer chain at no extra cost, just leave a note during checkout. The rose gold chain is 16" - if you'd like a longer rose gold chain, please send me a message inquiring about prices.
As this item is hand-made to order, and each element (cat whisker, dog fur, etc.) is unique in its own way, the finished piece will vary slightly --> the placement of fur or whisker will look a bit different than the photograph examples. I will do my best to space the pieces out similar to what you see in the photos. Each Looking Glass necklace is unique, just like your beloved pet. 💖
All items ship USPS Priority. Please be sure to read the shipping and policies information before your purchase.
All of HartVariations materials are cruelty-free and ethically sourced with great care. We are dedicated to No-Harm principles in our work.
A: No creatures are harmed in the process of creating HartVariations jewelry. We have a No-Harm, Cruelty-Free approach in our work. We source all materials with extreme care and ethical considerations. All the butterflies, beetles and moths we use come from sustainable, licensed butterfly conservation farms working to conserve native insect habitats. Snakeskin is shed naturally, feathers are collected after molting, and the skulls and jawbones come from natural deaths or owl pellets collected in the Pacific Northwest. HartVariations jewelry brings a second life to insects and other elements of nature.
Q: What are butterfly conservation farms?
A: Butterfly conservation farms, also known as sanctuaries, have been set up worldwide to preserve native habits and provide income for local populations. These farms require that forests and plants be protected and maintained instead of destroyed for other purposes. Butterflies and other insects are protected in these habitats. The survival rate of butterflies in the wild is only 2%, while on the farms, that rate increases up to 90%. On average, adult butterflies live 3 to 4 weeks.
All focal-pieces are constructed with lead-free silver solder and oxidized.
All necklaces are nickel-free, brass core with a gunmetal finish.
All ear hooks, hoops, and ear threads are dark oxidized sterling silver. All posts and ear nut backings are non-oxidized sterling silver.
All ring bands and bracelet metal is oxidized sterling silver.
We use rose gold-fill for earring findings and chain for our copper patina + rose gold styles.

Q: What kind of metal do you use?
A: I use the Tiffany Method of stained glass soldering. The focal metal is a lead-free, nickel-free blend of silver and tin that melts at a lower temperature, allowing me to encase natural objects that are sensitive to heat.
