About this treasure:

An extremely rare and beautiful miniature work of art. This reverse painted crystal ring features a totally charming terrier looking out to the wearer. This would make an amazing addition to any jewellery lovers collection, especially this very unique example!

A technique that dates back to 1860, reverse painted intaglio crystal was first popularised by a Victorian gentleman called Essex. The reverse of a cabochon rock crystal is carefully hand carved into a elaborate shape and then painted forming an fine three dimensional image.

Here we have a fabulous dog, with a difference. What was once full of colour, the vibrant hues have worn to a soft white glow. Just as wonderful in its own unique way.
We love how prominent his features are, and he even is wearing a beautiful fine gold collar and lead. The more you look, the more detail youll seeing in his face. Its an exceptional example.

They have been set into a warm 9 carat hold band, however he is actually sitting within a higher carat gold bezel setting, which may indicate he started life as a gentlemans stick pin. The setting dates to the late Victorian era, so if this is a conversion it would have been created during that period.

Highly collectable and increasingly hard to find this is an amazing piece of history, art and antique jewellery

Less than a week of use and peeling
Color: Black (Passcase), Color: Black (Passcase)
I got this as a gift for my husband and he used it for less than a week and the edges are already peeling. It seems more plastic than real leather. Very disappointing for the price. Would not expect this from Carhartt as their quality is typically very good.
