About Us

Launched in 2005, Buddy G's line of crystal jewelry and accessories for pets and their owners has quickly expanded in the U.S. and European markets. What began as an adornment to a cherished canine for a fashion show has grown into full line of products which are experiencing great appeal among pet retailers and their customers. Buddy G's has quickly expanded to major stores throughout the U.S. and Europe and can now be found in such retail giants as Dillards and Harrods.

Owner, Karen Giarrusso, an animal enthusiast and jewelry designer decided to decorate her favorite canine, Buddy G, with crystal jewelry and the response to her creation was so overwhelming that she took it to the next level, starting Buddy G's Pet Accessories. Handmade with the finest crystal the line continues to expand and now offers many styles of dazzling crystal collars such as mesh, stone and link. Clip on collar charms and furrettes (pet barrettes) in many pet related designs, such as bones, hearts, paws and mini-charms of cats and mice for favorite felines are among the many creations of owner Giarrusso. And of course, Ms. Giarrusso, did not stop there. What could be more fashionable than matching necklaces, bracelets and earring for the proud owner.

Ms. Giarrusso says, "Today, I receive pictures of pets and owners everywhere showing off their Buddy G's collars, collar clips, furrettes (hair) accessories and jewelry. It truly puts a smile on my face every time I see a dog or a cat (even ferrets, goats and bunnies) and their owners wearing something that I have put my heart and soul into designing and producing."

Giarrusso also stands behind her love of animals by donating her products for proceeds to be used toward the human treatment of animals. Last year, her products helped the Trigg County Human Society in Kentucky raise money for their animals in need. Karen wants to help people learn about causes like this so that these "little guys and even big ones (horses get abandoned too) that have no voice can get much deserved help."
