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.

Goes great with pressed powder foundation!
Size: 0.4 fl oz (Pack of 1)
I purchased the mini size of this product to keep in my purse. I use the mist with my Jane Iredell pressed powder foundation. I use one spray after the application of Powder and then I use again in the afternoon just for a refresh. It makes my skin glow. It’s lightweight and the application is easy. It doesn’t make the powder feel heavy on my face. highly recommend.

an amazing primer
Style: Brightening
This is an amazing primer. I only use it when I'm dressing up since it is expensive. It has always helped minimize my pores and helped smooth the appearance of my makeup. I've been using this primer for years. I first learned about this makeup brand from my dermatologist. I am acne prone and none of their products break me out.

Best Foundation Primer
Style: Brightening
Works incredibly well as a foundation primer. Once I found this ( a sample given to me) I will never use moisturizer underneath my foundation. This product is amazing at creating the perfect surface for one of my two foundation products - Clinique or Laura Mercier (Depends on the season for me as to which I use!) No pilling of my foundation, which always happened to me even if I used expensive moisturizer! This is so much better. Apply, then give yourself a minute before applying foundation.

LOVE THIS MAKEUP PRIMER
Style: Brightening
I have been using this PRIMER for several months. The makeup goes on much smoother, the age spots are a lot less noticeable, and my makeup last throughout the day. Using Jane Iredale Facial Primer and Brightener is now part of my makeup routine.

Finally, a clean, sheer non-greasy primer and brightener!
Style: Brightening
I fortunately discovered this product several years ago, and have since enjoyed using it daily along with the lightweight tinted moisturizer and other items. I do not look "caked", shiny or oily. Perfect make-up for a natural, healthy appearance. Also, I've noticed benefits to my overall skin condition. I highly recommend Jane Iredale makeup, and coming from a 78 year old lady who likes to look good, that is indeed a compliment.
