Pet Jewelry

Uli is German. And she has created MiMiga, a pet jewelry company. This German feline lover has united her passion for design and animals in some very special pieces. Make to order the best jewelry for pets such as necklaces and earrings with dog and cat hair.

In her words: “As diamonds are very expensive and jewelry with ash looks gloomy to me, I thought that creating jewelry with hair would be a different and affordable option.

Animal hair, the best material for pet jewelry

Uli was surprised when he discovered that, after the death of their pets, many people keep locks of hair as souvenirs. “My jewels allow me to give them shape and be able to always carry them close, not only as a visual memory, but also a tangible one, since they are designed in a personalized way, respecting the wonderful story that unites each person with their animal.

When cutting part of the animal’s hair to make the jewel (it can be used when part of its mantle is “released” so that it is cooler for the summer), this designer recommends that “ it is always better to make a jewel with the animal still alive, because the quantity and texture of the hair are of higher quality to make the desired design ”.

Decorating with pet jewelry

Our taste for jewelry has been growing and developing. In this way, we begin to decorate our clothes, bags, shoes, rooms, work area or newspapers. So we try to decorate our life and make it beautiful. That is why it is normal that we want to do the same with our pets, our best friends. But in addition, jewelry for pets has excellent aesthetic results.

They are generally small pets, such as the Chihuahua, the dogs that usually wear jewelry. These types of ornaments are not always basic, but can have more difficult variations.

Decorations for events

It is also normal that these necklaces are bought only for special events, since they are very heavy and increase the chances that our friend will be stolen, all whole, to take the jewel.

These types of jewelry can be found in pet jewelry departments. Among its materials we will find similar to those used for the manufacture of jewelry for humans: pearls, imitations of diamonds, different types of lace, etc.

Limits and reflections

Sometimes we see pets with earrings and other ornaments that can be annoying for them. There are puppies even with real earrings in their pierced ears. The same goes for the custom of tattooing our pets. All this is a huge discomfort for our furry friends who, on the other hand, cannot complain.

We must be clear that the beauty of our pets is undoubtedly important, but their health is much more so. Many people buy collars that are supposed to protect pets from fleas and other infections. This would be a “useful” feature of these types of ornaments. But in other cases, to show off a look that its owners like, we use our little friends as if they were a complement to a certain type of clothing.

Beneficial garments for our pets, but with caution

The same thing happens with the clothes that we sometimes put on our pets. We think about the aesthetic image when we put sweaters and other types of clothing on our pet. But in addition to the weather conditions, we think about an aesthetic aspect.

However, and as far as temperature regulation is concerned, there are animals and puppies that do not regulate their temperature well. Or animals that are not used to withstanding extreme heat, among other things because they live all the time inside our houses.

If we detect that our pet feels cold, it is recommended to consult the Veterinarian to evaluate this characteristic and rule out pathologies that could make our friend feel inclement weather to a greater extent.

With the aim of dressing our pets for aesthetics, there are many variants in terms of the types of garments that are used, since there is not such a strict contraindication of not using clothes for pets, but always looking for comfort for them, without sacrificing their nature and respecting the physiological variations with which your body works, temperature, hair, etc.

We must also consider before putting clothes on our pet if they have long coats, when using clothes constantly, it will cause the hair to tangle and knots that are very difficult to untangle and later these must be cut.
