The Sgiath is an ideal collar for the big dog who requires a bold look. Sgiath is a Gaelic word for shield, as in the type of shield a warrior carried into battle. The round shape of the gemstone cabochon holders on this collar is reflective of Anglo-Saxon or Viking shields and shield hand protectors, called "bosses", from the 6th or 7th centuries until approximately the 10th century AD.

The Sgiath sports all of the trademark features of the bon Christiani Celtic fashion dog collars:
* Gem cabochon settings hand-cast of fine, lead-free pewter. Choose from natural silver-grey or add gold plating, as you prefer.
* Solid cast bronze or sterling silver D-rings, adapted from a historic belt buckle found on a Celtic bog man. The D's are custom-cast for bon Christiani by Sun Valley Bronze. Bronze is recommended for aggressive or persistent pullers. Choose the bronze color you prefer from the Sun Valley Bronze patina list when you place your order.
* Durable, equestrian grade bio-imitative leather collar strap with soft, bio-imitative suede lining. With the eye appeal of fine leather, this material is nevertheless washable and resistant to fresh and salt water, mold, mildew, bacteria and stains.
* Customized to your preference with your choice of gemstone cabochons. Choose from the list when you place your order. All stones except the jade and Idaho star garnets are historically correct, as they were used extensively for Celtic jewelry making, some since prehistoric times.

Becuase of the rugged performance of the strap material and the attentive handcrafting, the Sgiath, like all of our Celtic fashion dog collars, will grace even the most active and powerful dogs with years of striking artistry.

Because your dog collar will be individually hand-made of custom-crafted parts, please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. It will arrive in our signature, handcrafted paper
