Antique Essex Crystal Dog Charm

A late 19th-century essex crystal dog charm set in an 18k bezel cup, featuring a brown and white spotted pointer standing in a field of wild grasses. The details are so realistic, from the texture of his coat to the tiny little black nose.

We added the 14k green diamond studded bail to give him a little sparkle.

Details: Measuring approximately 5/8" diameter across the top, and about 1 1/8" long includung the bail. Not marked for gold content but XRF tested to 18k, with a 14k bail. Weighs a total 5.1 grams

Condition: In excellent condition with very minaml wear to the crystal and a light patina.

History: True essex crystals such as this are crafted by carving the image on the underside of a rock crystal dome then painting it in for the detail and color. Usually backed with mother of pearl which gives them a shimmery glow underneath the crystal.
