Perfect match: This golden retriever's nose has been perfectly cast in solid silver


Our loving relationship with cats and dogs is not be sniffed at and now owners can commission and wear an original and quirky tribute to their favourite pet at all times.

Jackie Kaufman asks owners to send her moulds of their pooch or moggie's nose or paws so she can make them into fashionable jewellery and accessories.

Using solid silver she turns these impressions it into a necklace, ring or even a belt buckle, which costs animal-lovers up to £320 per piece.

Mrs Kaufman started making the pet-inspired jewellery after being approached by a customer with a terminally ill dog.

Jackie, who sells them online, said: 'I am a Jewellery caster and started by using people fingerprints in creating unique pieces for my customers.

'Then one day, a customer in Canada told me her dog was very ill and she would love to be able to have a remembrance of this beloved pet
