One of the most buzzed about pieces of jewelry on the Oscars' red carpet this year hung around the neck of none other than Mickey Rourke (sorry, Amy Adams). The actor wore a necklace which featured a picture of his recently deceased dog Loki, a tribute from the puppy-loving Rourke.

The pendant was actually a gift from an Etsy.com crafter and jewelry maker, Betina Wassermann. She sent the necklace to Mickey's publicist as a gift after she heard about Loki's death. Little did she know, it would turn up on the red carpet. Mickey even called Betina to personally thank her. Now her necklaces are in high demand, and although Betina won't reproduce the Loki pendant, she will take custom orders which feature a photo of your own pet for just $30.
