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.

My dachshund loves this bone
My dog absolutely loved this bone!! He has other bones but always resorts back to this one. It’s easy for him to hold and enjoy at the same time. It is very durable.

Dogs give the Y a 10 out of 10!
It seems like all dogs love these Y bones. It is not messy and its a dog favorite. Paid for many Y bones in the store but it is a little more going to a pet store. So tried online. Didn't disappoint! Cant have enough in my pantry. 😀

My Dog Loves It, But Be Careful
My dog absolutely loves the Benebone Wishbone Chew Toy—he gets so excited every time I bring it out. It’s clearly made for aggressive chewers and is very durable, but he often ends up hurting his teeth while chewing on it. I wish it were a bit gentler on his mouth. Great for keeping dogs entertained, just watch out if your pup has sensitive teeth.

My dogs LOVE these over the leading brand!
My dogs LOVE these chew bones! They will chew on these things for 30 minutes straight. They will dig them out from the dog basket, or whine at the door if they left it outside. I ended up having to get all 4 of my dogs each their own it was so popular. The white bone in the picture is the from the leading brand and you can see which one they go for, lol. They've had these bones for 6 weeks now and chew on them daily, and multiple times throughout the day. If your dog is a chewed or puppy, definitely give these a try!
