Victorian 18ct Gold Essex Crystal Terrier Dog Pendant

Description: Brimming with charm, this Victorian Essex Crystal pendant is crafted in rich 18ct Gold and depicts a delightful Terrier rendered in reverse-carved and hand-painted Rock Crystal. The high-domed crystal magnifies the miniature, lending a lifelike, three-dimensional presence that’s so loved by collectors of Essex Crystal. A refined beaded outer rim and twisted-rope inner border frame the portrait with elegant texture, enhancing its sentimental appeal. Petite yet characterful, it’s a beautifully made keepsake from the 19th century, ready to grace your favourite chain. Item Details: ERA: Victorian (1837–1901). MEASUREMENTS: Pendant is 23mm long including jump ring. Pendant itself is 17.5mm in diameter. WEIGHT: 4.5g. MATERIALS: Tests as 18ct Gold, Rock Crystal.
