🐾 Javier Update 🐾

We had another visit to the vets yesterday for a follow-up heart scan and, thankfully, the news was neutrally positive.

The good news is that Javier hasn’t got any worse and is responding well to his medication. The vets are pleased with his progress and, if things continue as they are, they are hoping to start reducing his diuretics soon.

Over the last few days he has been much more like his usual self, which has been wonderful to see. He’s been brighter, more lively, and generally making sure everyone knows exactly what they’re doing at all times.

One of his recent acquisitions is a cooling mat, which was bought with some scepticism as he has an impressive history of completely ignoring things purchased for his comfort. To my surprise, he absolutely loves it and has claimed it as his own.

Today he was also delighted to receive a visit from his Granny Pammy aka Pam Small, one of his favourite people in the world. Unfortunately for Granny, years of conditioning have taught him that she frequently arrives carrying snacks, so before greetings could properly commence, a full handbag inspection was required.
I am pleased to report that his ability to detect contraband treats from several rooms away remains entirely unaffected.

I am pleased to report that his ability to detect treats from several rooms away remains entirely unaffected.

With the warmer weather forecast over the next few days, we’re also keeping a close eye on him. Dogs with heart conditions can find hot weather more challenging, so for the time being we’re taking things one day at a time and making decisions based on what’s best for Javier. At the moment he’s doing well, enjoying his cooling mat and generally behaving as though he’s in charge of the entire recovery process.

We know there is still a long road ahead, but for now he is comfortable, happy, and enjoying life, which is all we can ask for.

Thank you again for all the messages, positive thoughts and support. It means more than I can put into words.

For now, the market supervisor remains on light duties, with most of his time spent alternating between napping, snack inspections, handbag security checks and quality control testing of his new cooling mat.

🐾 For the Ones Who Leave Paw Prints on Our Hearts 🐾

Anyone who has ever loved a pet knows they are never “just a dog” or “just a cat”.

They are the wagging tails that greet us at the door, the purring companions curled up beside us, the muddy paw prints across the kitchen floor, and the loyal friends who somehow make every day a little brighter.

Our new Paw Print Pendant and Matching Paw Print Stud Earrings celebrate that special bond between people and their pets. Crafted in sterling silver and sparkling with cubic zirconia, they are a beautiful reminder of the animals who fill our lives with unconditional love, laughter, and companionship.

Whether you’re treating yourself, celebrating a beloved pet, or searching for the perfect gift for an animal lover, these dainty pieces carry a little piece of that love wherever you go.

Because some paw prints never fade. ❤️

🦉 Back in Stock – But Not for Long 🦉

One of our most-loved designs has finally returned…

Our handcrafted Gold Vermeil Owl Pendant is back in stock, bringing with it all the symbolism of wisdom, intuition, and quiet strength that has made this piece such a favourite.

Inspired by the owl’s association with knowledge and hidden insight, each pendant is crafted in sterling silver and finished in rich 18ct gold vermeil, creating a striking piece that feels both timeless and meaningful.

As always with our handmade collections, numbers are very limited and once these have found their new homes, there may be a wait before they return again.

If you’ve been waiting for this one, now might be the time.

I was completely caught off guard when a parcel arrived this morning.

One of our lovely customers sent me this T-shirt after reading about Javier’s recent health problems.

I honestly don’t know what to say other than thank you, I’m so touched.

The past couple of weeks have been difficult and the kindness, messages, cards, gifts and good wishes that have come from so many of you have been overwhelming in the very best possible way.

As you can see, Javier appears to approve of the T-shirt too. In fact, I suspect he believes “Dog Dad” is now my official job title.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send a message, leave a comment, share a post or simply think of us. It means far more than you know.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I appear to be required for important cuddling duties. 🐾❤️

We’re back in Tamworth today! ✨

After a lovely first visit yesterday, Twelve Silver Trees Jewellery will be back at Tamworth Indie Market at Ankerside Shopping Centre today (Sunday 14th June) from 10am until 4pm.

Come and browse our handcrafted sterling silver jewellery inspired by nature, folklore, wildlife, flowers, and the changing seasons. Whether you’re looking for a meaningful gift, a treat for yourself, or simply fancy a wander around the market, we’d love to see you.

One of the things we love about the Tamworth Indie Market is that the mix of traders changes throughout the weekend, so there’s always something new to discover alongside your favourite regular stalls.

We’ve also just launched a dedicated page on our website with information about the market, parking, opening times, and what to expect when you visit. You’ll find the link below.

If you’re visiting Ankerside Shopping Centre today, pop by and say hello – we’ll be the ones surrounded by shiny things! ✨

P.S. Please ignore Facebook’s choice of image for this post. Despite its best efforts, Tamworth Indie Market is not a Valentine’s event. Apparently Facebook went rummaging through our website and picked a completely unrelated picture. Technology is wonderful… until it isn’t. 🤦‍♂️

Let’s be honest… if I asked you to name a beautiful or meaningful insect, a fly probably wouldn’t make the shortlist. 🪰

Butterflies? Absolutely.
Bees? Of course.
Dragonflies? Without question.

Flies? Not so much.

But here’s the surprising thing: throughout history, the humble fly has symbolised courage, perseverance, resilience, transformation, abundance, secret-keeping, and even military honour in Ancient Egypt.

Victorian jewellery featured flies as symbols of protection and loyalty, while Ancient Egyptian soldiers were awarded golden fly pendants for bravery in battle.

It turns out the little insect we spend all summer trying to shoo away has a far richer story than most of us realise.

We’ve just updated our Hidden Symbolism blog exploring the fascinating meaning behind the fly in jewellery, art, folklore, and history.

Who knew one of nature’s most overlooked creatures could have so much to say?

Read the full article here: https://twelvesilvertrees.com/blogs/news/hidden-symbolism-the-fly-in-jewellery

Discover the symbolism and meaning of the fly in jewellery. Learn how this resilient insect represents perseverance, determination, courage, transformation and survival.

🐇✨ The March Hare – A Symbol of Freedom, Energy & Wild Spirit ✨🐇

There is something wonderfully captivating about the hare.

A creature of folklore, poetry, and the British countryside, the hare has long symbolised independence, intuition, vitality, and the courage to follow your own path. This beautifully detailed sterling silver pendant captures that sense of movement and freedom, depicting a leaping hare full of life and energy.

With its elegant, flowing design, the March Hare pendant is equally at home worn by men or women. Whether layered with other chains or worn as a simple statement piece, it offers a subtle connection to nature and the wild landscapes that inspire so much of our work.

🐇 Solid Sterling Silver
🐇 Intricately Detailed Hare Design
🐇 Suitable for Men & Women
🐇 Inspired by British Wildlife & Folklore
🐇 Supplied on a Sterling Silver Chain

A perfect gift for nature lovers, countryside enthusiasts, wildlife watchers, or anyone who feels a little more hare than tortoise.

After all, life is far more interesting when you occasionally run a little wild. 🌿
