Maraux founder Katy is a greyhound mum to Sophie — known in this house as Shnoots, the noodle dog. This pendant was drawn from life: the arch of the back, the long nose, the ridiculous elegance of a dog built for 70km/h who sleeps eighteen hours a day.
It's a tribute to the grace and resilience of rescued greyhounds, and to all those lost to the racing industry.
Made for greyhound pawrents, for adopters and foster carers, for Gotcha Day, and for those whose hounds have crossed the rainbow bridge.
$10 from every Greyhound Rescue Necklace sold via maraux.com.au is donated to greyhound rescue organisations GreytGreys and Amazing Greys, helping rescued racing greyhounds find their forever homes.
Pendant or full necklace. Choose the pendant on its own if you already have a chain you love, or with our 45cm curb chain. Made in small batches — usually only a handful of each finish at a time.
Details:
Material: 18k gold vermeil on a sterling silver base, or solid sterling silver
Solid 9k gold is currently made to order. Please note 2-3 weeks lead time for 9k solid gold.

Care: Water-resistant and made for everyday wear. Like all fine silver, it can tarnish gently over time — a quick buff with the polishing cloth in your box brings the shine straight back
