Dogeared Jewels & Gifts Presents Great Green Gifts
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — Dogeared, a trendsetting brand that creates handcrafted jewels and gifts in Los Angeles, features an extensive line of green gifts — an important trend this holiday season and year-round. All the components are made in the USA and are handcrafted in the company’s LA studio.
The new, perfect for any occasion, Wish Big Candles are a response to requests from retailers and customers who wanted a Mother Earth friendly candle with Dogeared style. The candles are made with soy wax and essential oils, come in recycled glass jars or travel tins, with cotton wicks and are packaged in recycled boxes printed with acid-free soy ink. The five scents include sit back, relax (lavender and tangerine), fire it up (ylang ylang and nutmeg) and gotta lotta zip (ginger, cinnamon, lemon) and are guaranteed to burn at least 45 hours.
These non-toxic, clean burning candles were created to deliver an intoxicating scent alone or in groups. The natural scents can blend to create an individual experience in any room of the home.
Dogeared’s Pocket Angels are made from recycled sterling silver and are packaged in a satin pouch in a tiny box with a printed card. This is a perfect stocking stuffer or hostess
Another great gift is the new Peace Wreath, made from grape vines with a leather hanging strap. In two sizes, 2″ and 6″, and packaged in a millcloth pouch, they provide a beautiful statement and a natural touch in any decor.
All of Dogeared’s sterling silver and gold dipped charms are cast in the USA, and many are tumbled in organic walnut shells as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to be environmentally responsible. New charms this season include an array of animals, ranging from bees to snakes to owls to unicorns, and new hearts, feathers, locks and keys and angel wings.
Another new charm is the Western hemisphere, and is used in two different designs, What a Wonderful World and Peace on Earth. The profits from both necklaces are donated to organizations that are working for peace and to heal the planet.
Dogeared’s line of natural canvas Big Totes, Shopping Bags and Lil’ Zips continues to expand. New designs in this best selling category are in color and feature graphics and text, including “friends don’t let friends trash the earth” and “I might like you better if you recycled.”
The bags are made in the USA, of heavyweight natural cotton, and are manufactured with the least possible impact on the environment in compliance with the Fair Labor Association.
Dogeared Jewels & Gifts’ 2008 fall collection is inspired by the company mission of “putting good energy into the world one jewel at a time.” Retail prices range from approximately $25 to $295. The collection is featured in a 108 page wholesale catalog that is printed on recycled paper and viewable online at www.dogearedwholesale.com.

About Dogeared Jewels & Gifts
When designer Marcia Maizel-Clarke recognized the need for jewelry that speaks, she founded Dogeared Jewels & Gifts in 1991 and she created the original word-jewelry and charms. The response to these and the success of the Make a Wish series of necklaces gave birth to a trendsetting, innovative family of products that capture the magic of words, symbols, wishes and dreams, a magic that has attracted international attention.
Dogeared’s unique, custom cast jewels are regularly featured in fashion, lifestyle, and celebrity publications, in films and in television shows. Dogeared is sold by trendsetting retailers around the world, including Nordstrom, Fred Segal, Sundance, and Intuition. All Dogeared products are handcrafted in Los Angeles.
