High priced dog jewellery launched

In a dog fashion parade recently held at Harrods, millions of dollars worth of jewellery was paraded for ….. you guessed it ….. dogs!.  A dog by the name of Ritchie modeled a diamond-studded collar worth US 1.03 million designed by jeweler Stephen Webster, who also created Madonna’s wedding ring.  The collar was set with Dali web cut diamonds, a cente stone and a gold bone attachment.  The while collection dislayed was valued at $3million US (for the jewels alone) and it was shown off on a 60 foot long, neon-lit catwalk.  And who said the luxury market doesn’t extend to our pets?
