Seattle artist Nicola Leonard -- and her two pugs -- create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pet tags for your one-of-a-kind canine or feline.

Handmade from sterling silver, with cut-out copper or silver shapes to suit your pet's unique personality, each tag comes engraved with your pet's name or short saying (my dog Scout's tag says "Rock Star," because of course, that's what she is...well, to me anyway).

Add your contact information on the back and your pet's stylish I.D. tag is complete. Want a little treat for yourself? Nicola also crafts fun, unique jewelry for humans in silver and 14K gold. Visit bynicola.com to check out her gallery of jewelry pieces and to order your pet's tag.
