    hi all i mostly work in silver wire, but have been asked to design
    and create a charm bracelet in 14K gold to reflect 5 Rhodesian
    Ridgeback hounds, and 2 dobi's.  i met them through a ridgeback list
    i am on as i am the owner, or should i say am owned by a ridgeback. 
    it was 2, but we lost Karat Gold on Christmas Day.  she came from
    Fire Mountain Gem's kennels.   i diress..... 

    she told me to use my own imagination...and i do not imagine a chain
    with stuff dangling in a circle. she said as long as she can wear it
    on occasion at the country club it was fine... i see a very wide
    band crocheted (of course) in the afghan stitch, with flat
    silhouette charms attached.... kinda Egyptian style.... 

    since i don't do any charms as a rule, i am thinking maybe someone
    has a catalogue of charms available. 

    i was going to make  it up in 14k gold fill first, get approval,
    weight piece so i will know how much 14k gold wire to order, (26ga) 
    um, would they weigh the same amount then complete piece.   i know
    it will go smoothly, in my best dreams.  but i am excited to start
    this, and to figure out how i end up finding the dog charms. 

    thank you all again for all your help.
