Victorian Essex Crystal Convertible Stick Pin / Pendant
This delightful Victorian jewel seamlessly transitions between a distinguished stick pin and a charming pendant. Crafted in warm 14ct yellow gold, it features a captivating reverse intaglio Essex crystal depicting the incredibly detailed head of most possibly a West Highland Terrier. The artistry of the reverse intaglio technique brings the endearing character of the dog to life within the crystal.
The crystal is beautifully framed by a decorative gold surround, adding to its elegance. A clever screw mechanism allows for easy conversion between its functions as a stick pin and a pendant, offering versatility for the wearer.Specifications:
