ASPCA Tender Voices Jewelry Collection

A truly great gift is one that has a special meaning to both the gift giver and the recipient. It shows that you put thought into it, and that you understand what really matters to the special people in your life. The ASPCA Tender Voices Jewelry Collection is the perfect example of a truly great gift! Every piece is beautiful, and each one celebrates the special bond between people and their pets.

What’s just as important is that the collection was designed especially for the ASPCA, and proceeds from each sale help to support their important mission and life-saving work on behalf of animals! Each piece comes with a lovely gift box and includes a special ASPCA Tender Voices engravable ID medallion that you can clip on your pet’s collar or wear on your key chain.
