About the necklace:

About Dogeared Jewels & Gifts:

Dogeared Jewels and Gifts have been hand crafted in California for 20 years, when designer Marcia Maizel-Clarke recognized the need for jewelry that speaks. The style is modern and versatile, inspired by California’s free spirited, natural beauty. Designs range from subtle classics to eclectic, unexpected statements, all designed in the spirit of love, kindness, and consciousness. Each jewel is handmade in the USA, collectable, and one of a kind.

Dogeared believes what goes around comes around. We are committed to the same values we held when we started on this journey in 1991… And we will always design with the planet in mind and support nonprofit groups working to heal the environment and create social change.

We’re celebrating 20 years of good Karma, doing what we love, and loving what we do: creating jewelry that puts good energy out into the world, and makes personal, positive statements about people who wear it.

This item is a part of the #DogKarma Prize pack full of great dog goods to help a rescue dog get settled in his or her new home.  




If you’re not planning to adopt a rescue dog in the near future, you can still enter.  If you win, the Good Karma necklace is yours to keep, and we hope you’ll donate the dog goods to your local rescue to help them with their amazing efforts to help dogs find forever homes.


How to enter:



  • Leave a comment on this post, and tell me the name of your favorite local dog rescue (one comment per person, please).

For extra entries:

  • Blog or Tweet (#DogKarma) about a dog from your local pound or rescue who is in need of a home, and come back and leave the link to your tweet or blog post in the comments.  Here’s a sample tweet.

  • Please only enter one link per day in comments for an extra entry, but feel free to post about rescue dogs with the #DogKarma hashtag as often as you’d like, because, of course, the goal is to raise awareness about adoptable rescue dogs!  

  • Each day this week I’ll post with more information on the items in the prize pack and the generous companies sponsoring this project, and will give you more opportunities to enter with each post.

I’ll announce the winner (chosen by a random number generator) on Monday, October 3rd.
Good Luck!

    Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is one of my favorite organizations. They are a non-profit organization that provide care for abandoned and homeless animals. They also provide various programs such as dog training classes, animal behavior consultations, humane education and many more! :)

    I LOVE Dogeared. I have ordered from them a few times. I have been unable to convince my husband to let me have a dog, so I’d have to take the rest of the pack to the Atlanta Humane Society.

    Thomas J O’Connor Adoption Center in Springfield, Ma is the shelter I support. I have rescued 3 of our 4 dogs from TJO. I volunteer at TJO and do adoption events at Petco for them. The shelter is a municipally run dept and therefore suffers from the impact of budget cuts from the city. They have had to decrease the number of hours the adoption center is open, therefore making it more difficult to get the pets adopted. This pack would be an awesome addition to their Pawzaar sale, one of their fundraisers. Thanks for all you do to support rescue!!

    The local rescue “Buddy Dog Humane Society” is a place I have helped out at and I know they do so much for the dogs (and cats) in their care.

    Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, MA is a wonderful non-profit, no-kill shelter from which we adopted a doggie family member in the past. I also have to put in a good word for Rescue Road Trips, a volunteer organization that picks up dogs from high-kill shelters in the South and transports them to their furever homes in the North. Their weekly updates regularly have me in tears of joy for these babies.

    Forever Paws in Fall River, Mass is the local no kill shelter run by volunteers who love the animals they rescue, before they find them a forever home. They depend solely on contributions to continue their good work. They are the only non kill shelter here and need any help possible.

    The Washtenaw county humane society in Ann Arbor, MI is a great place. I have adopted from there in the past and probably will again in the future.

Okay, fine. Her jacket is reversible and we kinda Okay, fine. Her jacket is reversible and we kinda match. I admit it. Alright? We all knew this was coming. None of this should be a surprise to any of us. #dailyroxydog #huskychihuahua #dogjacket #peoplewhomatchtheirdogs

We are in the habit of starting and ending our day We are in the habit of starting and ending our days side by side in our lawn chairs, while the light rises or dims. It’s still chilly at the outer edges of the day. Sometimes Roxy shivers. I bought her a sweater, but she won’t wear it. Sometimes I try to wrap her in my jacket, but she’s not having that either, so I throw her ball and try to get her run and then she comes back to her chair, warm for a little longer. #dailyroxydog #huskychihuahua #dogssittinginchairs

I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic ant I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic antique store sometime in November and didn’t buy it. But then, of course, I kept thinking about her. She’s the perfect size for my office, and I found those drawer pulls hilarious. When I finally went back in December, I told myself I was shopping for wall art, because I assumed she would be gone. But she was right where I’d seen her last: balanced on another dresser with boxes of old picture frames and tchotchkes piled on top (the true mark of a magic antique store). I didn’t even realize she had a towel rack — that she was a wash stand, not a dresser — until I asked about the price, said I’d take her, and my favorite magic antique store person asked if we needed to unscrew the towel rack to fit her in my car. I suspect this little sweetie is not from the days of necessary wash stands so much as from a country kitchen in the 80s. She was in rough shape, and not made from wood worth stripping and re-staining, but her price reflected that. I had to disassemble that door and put it back together, but I’d been in the market for some experience working with old furniture, and she made me feel brave about trying. I thought about painting her something more neutral, but I’m so glad I didn’t. She deserves to be pink. She’s not perfectly painted and needs a few touch ups. I learned some things about chalk paint and finishes. The drawers stick a bit. Eventually, I’d like to line them with fabric and when I do, I might plane the edges to smooth things out. But goodness, I love her in a way that I wouldn’t if I hadn’t spent time cleaning away her cobwebs and scrubbing the grime from her hilarious drawer pulls. She’s also become a little shrine for the book I’m working on, which makes me love her even more. I’ve always been a person who sees some soul in certain things, and I’m learning to cherish that idiosyncrasy, because there’s so much joy to be found in a brave little toaster or an underdog wash stand. We’re not here in the world for all that long. We may as well love some bright little things. #furnituremakeover
