This amazing and fun Victorian pinscher dog stickpin is set in solid 9 carat gold and is a genuine hand crafted Essex crystal!Dating to around 1880, it’s a miracle of craftsmanship: reverse hand carved, then reverse hand painted, right onto a genuine natural rock crystal with a deep rounded front. These aspects combined provide an amazing 3d effect that make the subject pop right out of the frame! Wearing a blue collar, the dog is backed by a ribbed textile panel that provides excell...ent contrast, and is finished with a gold foxtail surround. In wonderful original condition and really tiny, it gets better the closer you look! To see the 3d effect as it moves, please take a look at the short video on my Instagram account here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Sd6WvF9Ww/ It weighs 6.6 grams and measures 3.25 inches long overall, the head being 20 mm in diameter. The final photo shows it with a US penny (1 cent) coin for scale, which measures 19 mm / ¾ of an inch diameter.All my items are guaranteed 100% as described or your money back, so buy with confidence!What's more, I offer layaway deals so there's no need to let any of my listings slip through your fingers - just ask!If you like this one, click here to see my other items.
