This collar is beautiful enough to be jewelry and super sturdy! We bought one for our German Pinscher pup in black & brass with purple velvet Swarovski crystals & a custom nameplate. The studs, jewels, and rivets are all set nicely and it doesn't break the fur around her neck. Feels very secure on her neck. Absolutely gorgeous work! I think I'll buy all her collars from Karma going forward. Shipped in a reasonable time (the time frame stated on the website) and Karma responded to my inquiries quickly. Thank you so much!
