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.

A huge hit for the whole pack
Color: GREEN
​Finding a toy that appeals to multiple dogs with different play styles is tough, but this interactive green goose is an absolute home run. The combination of the crinkle wings and the squeaker keeps them entertained and busy way longer than a standard plush toy. ​Despite the daily thrashing, tugging, and chewing, the durability has been incredibly impressive. It’s the perfect size for larger breeds to grip, yet lightweight enough for smaller dogs to carry around by the neck.

Great toy that's a real hit so far!
Color: YELLOW
This squeaky goose has been a total hit and, more importantly, it actually passed the "German Shepherd test." It is always a gamble with plush toys and large breeds, but this one has stayed completely intact after several play sessions. Even with all the shaking and carrying around, the seams are holding up perfectly and the squeaker is still going strong. The combination of the squeak and the crinkle wings keeps things interesting, and the material feels much more durable than your average stuffed toy. If you have a powerful chewer who still loves a soft toy to carry around, this is a great, resilient option that won't fall apart immediately.

The cutest softest, quack, quack
Color: PINK
My seven year-old full octane energy 12 pound dog is obsessed with ducks every toy that she’s ever gotten really attached to has been a duck and I bought the same exact up from a different store at least a dozen times because she was obsessed with it. But as soon as she would get the noisemaker out of it, it was time for anyone. But it was so cheaply made I decided to start getting her different ducks that were supposed to be harder to destroy, and we still have a graveyard of destroyed ducks. But this one she doesn’t wanna destroy it. It only has one little squeaker is what I call it so she doesn’t care to try to tear it open and take it out. The material is extremely lush and soft and it is incredibly adorable. I don’t really know what makes it an interactive toy though, but I recommend it.

Puppy destroyed in days
Color: PINK, Color: PINK
My 5 1/2 month old Maltese destroyed this toy in a few days so I would definitely say it is not chew resistance.
