Why Blu Dog?
The Blu Dog has been my "seal of approval" since I was seven years old and was able to draw a dog. In school, rather than signing my name on artwork for class, I would draw the blue dog - that is, only if I felt that it was good enough to merit the blue dog. In 1994, I purchased an actual blue dog sculpture, the "Beastie" by Milwaukee artist Denis Pearson. It has traveled with me wherever I have lived. Needless to say, I never became an artist. Instead, I became an avid collector of fine art and jewelry, all of which are brought to you with the "Blu Dog" seal of approval.
About
Bludogworld is a curated collection of vintage fine jewelry and art. Many of the pieces have been passed down through generations and thoughtfully added to over time. Each item is carefully selected from collections across Europe and the United States. Antique and vintage jewelry not only stands the test of time—it represents the ultimate form of sustainability. It is legacy.
Art has always been a central part of my life. I studied Art History at Northwestern University and earned my certification in colored stones and diamonds from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), but above all, I’ve always had a deep passion for jewelry. For the past thirty-five years, I’ve collected art with my dad, drawn to pieces that speak to me. Today, I’m proud to pass that legacy on to my daughter, who has joined me in building Bludogworld. Together, we collaborate on acquisitions, operations, and, most importantly, mutual inspiration.
​
The Blu Dog logo has been my personal symbol of quality, luxury, and fine craftsmanship since I was seven years old. It has signed my artwork and collections for decades and now represents the spirit of Bludogworld.
​
We hope these pieces will be inspirational, worn, loved, and eventually passed down—becoming part of your own legacy.
