    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Octavia Elizabeth

Octavia Elizabeth Zamagias launched her engagement ring collection in 2017 and describes her design aesthetic as "clean, classic, and luxurious with an emphasis on hand-finishings and quality." If refined and feminine with a rugged twist sounds like your ideal engagement ring, Zamagias' might just be the designer for you. Since she loves high carat yellow golds (like 18k and 22k), her entire collection is made from this metal, but platinum-loving brides are invited to place a special order. Designed with a chic, sophisticated bride in mind, Zamagias says her perfect client "wants something that will withstand the test of time both stylistically and structurally."

Mateo

Matthew Harris started designing his engagement ring collection in 2017 with a simple mission in mind. He wanted to create "modern designs for today's modern women." Naturally, contemporary brides are loving the simple, minimal results. "I believe what makes my engagement rings different is the uniqueness of the designs and the thought that went in to each piece," Harris says. "There's a ring called 'I Adore You,' which was inspired by my partner and our relationship." The Mateo bride, he explains, is "strong, bold, completely knows herself, and is at one with herself. She adores her partner, but she remains independent."

Jacquie Aiche

Jacquie Aiche's ideal bride? "A free spirit with a hint of rebel," she says. "A goddess that gravitates away from the conventional. You'll find her dancing down the aisle barefoot." If that sounds like you, put this designer's engagement ring collection, which just launched this year, on your radar. Boho-loving brides will gravitate towards the brand's rings with unique shapes. One we're loving right now? It's one Aiche describes as a "teardrop and marquise diamond blended together," and it's pretty much begging to be stacked.

Consider Ashley Zhang's engagement ring collection, which launched this year, the perfect blend of old-meets-new style. Inspired by vintage designs ("specifically from the Art Deco and Edwardian eras," she explains), the designer's jewelry will appeal to the bride who loves fine details and classic style. "I like to mix elements of design from those time periods with clean lines and shapes," she adds. As for her signature look, Zhang says she loves to mix platinum with 18k yellow gold, and she's a big fan of unique rare stone cuts, like the moval (a mix between a marquise and an oval).

Mociun

The queen of the cluster ring, Caitlin Mociun, who launched her engagement ring collection in 2017, describes her design aesthetic as unexpected elegance. "I keep my designing very pared down, but I wouldn't call it minimal," she explains. "I take a lot of cues from the materials that I'm working with and focus on color and form." Naturally, her signature look is a stone cluster ring, but she also loves to incorporate rare and vintage diamonds and says she's extremely inspired by the Art Deco era. If you are looking for a ring that is truly your sense of style and unique, Mociun is probably the designer for you.c"I want my clients to have something that feels unique and tailored to who they are," she adds. "We work closely with all our clients to make sure that they are matched with the best piece for them."

A custom experience and rings made with rare and unusual diamond cuts is what Baylee Ann Zwart offers to her clients. Her engagement ring service, which launched in 2016, offers brides-to-be an opportunity to combine traditional elements with unexpected and one-of-a-kind white diamonds. "To fuse those worlds together, I keep the settings very modern and clean with traditional techniques and focus on very high-quality white diamonds for a timeless appeal," she says.

Lindsey Scoggins

Inspired by clean lines, her education in architecture, and her career traveling the world sourcing diamonds for Zales, Lindsey Scoggins launched an engagement ring collection in 2017 that she describes as "modern metropolitan." Don't expect to find just one signature look from this designer, but rather a signature design experience. "I love a halo around any stone and bands with subtle design details, like a paneled gold shank or end-to-end baguettes," she says. Scoggins' brides are fully involved in the design process, and she loves working with women who appreciate her architectural approach to jewelry.

Michelle Fantaci

Michelle Fantaci describes her engagement ring collection, which debuted in 2017, as a balance between polished and soulful. "I think of my bridal line as feminine without being flowery," Fantaci explains. Expect to see plenty of rose and step cuts in her work and a clear emphasis on asymmetry. As for how to choose an engagement ring that's right for you, Fantaci has great advice. "They are not meant to stand apart from the rest of your jewelry but to be integrated with it," she explains. That's why she strives to create engagements rings that are, as she puts it, "almost non-bridal." So, if you're looking for something understated and a little non-traditional, Fantaci might have your ideal ring in her collection.

Launched in 2016, Lauren Addison's engagement ring collection is that perfect mix of contemporary and classic. She describes her favorite ring style as something unexpected ("A colored diamond, mixed metals, a gypsy setting, a hidden gemstone," she explains). Addison's ideal bride seeks out craftsmanship and a one-on-one experience when creating her dream engagement ring. "I relish the opportunity to merge a classic look with a modern twist, keeping things fresh," Addison says.

Vanessa Stofenmacher launched her engagement ring collection in 2017 and describes her aesthetic as simple and thoughtful. "We're focused on subtle details, like how a ring feels on your finger," she says. The Vrai & Oro bride is modern and progressive, and takes a less is more approach to style and fashion. "She's conscious about the decisions she makes, the products she buys and the impact she has on the earth," Stofenmacher adds.

Yves Spinelli's engagement ring collection, which debuted in 2017, is architectural, bold, and stackable. "We work a lot with connected circles, and often pieces have more than one way they can be worn," he says. "Our rings are modular and more can be added on." The Spinelli bride loves to layer and wants to be able to incorporate her ring into her everyday look.

Minimal, unique and ethically-made is what you will find in Katherine Kim's engagement ring collection, which launched in 2017. "Our signature look is comprised of clean graphic silhouettes with a minimalistic approach," she says. All of her pieces are rare, yet each is uniquely timeless. The KatKim bride, the designer explains, is "a non-conformist and extremely confident about her vision."
