This darling antique brooch captures something truly special. This is not just a beautiful piece of jewellery, but a heartfelt tribute to the bond between people and their beloved dogs. At its centre lies a miniature Essex crystal, lovingly revers carved and hand painted to depict a faithful little dog in exquisite detail. We believe he is a wire fox terrier who has been set against a mother of pearl backing giving them an ethereal glow. 

There has been some wear and water ingress over the lifetime, however this does nothing to take away from the charm and character it shows. Their little smile looking back through. 

The image is so lifelike, it feels as if the dog might leap out of the crystal. This is a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship behind this rare technique. Set in a simple yet elegant 9ct gold mount, the brooch has a timeless warmth that speaks of both sentiment and style.

A little history:

Essex crystal jewellery became popular during the Victorian era, when pieces like this were often worn as tokens of affection and remembrance. Each crystal was carved from behind and then delicately painted, creating a three-dimensional look that brings the subject to life. These tiny works of art were often custom made to depict a beloved pet, making every piece unique and deeply personal.

This particular brooch is a beautiful example. It's full of character, emotion, and old world charm. Whether you're a collector of antique jewellery, a dog lover, or simply someone drawn to pieces with soul and story, this brooch is sure to speak to the heart.

A wearable love letter from the past.
