This incredible hound dog reverse intaglio conversion started life as an antique collar pin/ button piece. Many of these have been lost to history. The dog design looks almost 3D and is done by carving and painting from the back of the crystal cabochon, before setting it in gold.
This is a fine example, crafted of 15k solid gold and rock crystal (not glass), which makes it all the more special. We have combined this piece of history with a vintage solid 14k ring shank.
Why we love it
Dogs have been beloved throughout history. This piece embodies Victorian romanticism, commemorating a beloved best friend.
This piece was intentionally designed to be able to stack with thin or thick bands (see photos).
Note: This item was converted by our little Los Angeles shop and is one-of-a-kind. We will continue converting and restoring more pieces in the future but we cannot replicate this exactly. Once it's sold, it's gone, which makes these restorations so special. Add to cart to make it yours!

Love my star charm! She’s the perfect addition to my stack!
I've missed out on a few drops in the past because I hesitated too long, but I finally snagged a little star. I picked up a beautiful yellow-green sapphire "fae fjord" shaped like a heart. Absolutely love the piece. It's solid, eye-catching, and just makes me happy. I'm looking forward to adding another in my collection. Please create some with garnets :)
Love love love. I have a few stars now and this one is even more amazing

I love my Little Star! The diamond has a soft, romantic glow, and the charm’s weight makes it feel truly substantial. The star points also make it the perfect little fidget — beautiful, playful, and grounding.
Absolutely lovely. The perfect star charm. Amazing communication and quick delivery.
Amazing! Worth every penny. Get on the wait list and adopt a star.
I hardly know where to begin with this piece; it truly takes my breath away. Beyond my personal sentiment, it is an heirloom-worthy treasure: exquisitely crafted, flawlessly executed, and designed with such elegant simplicity that it still makes a striking statement. The diamond itself is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, absolutely mesmerizing. Since receiving it, I’ve built every jewelry look around this pendant because I simply can’t bring myself to take it off.
Working with Tris made the entire experience even more meaningful. She was a dream to work with, patient, attentive, and always willing to go above and beyond to answer my questions. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and artistry, and I know I’ll be a lifelong client.
I love, love, love my OEC diamond star! The sparkly diamond and buttery 18k gold have elevated my go to neck stack. Could not be happier!
The little star is stunning. More beautiful at home than on instagram. And it was stunning on the gram. Mine has an opalescent sapphire and it is so beautiful and cool. And definitely an heirloom. I see myself passing this to my daughter one day. But until then it is all mine. Go get yourself on the waitlist and get a little star.
I received my star in the mail today and I gasped! It’s just sooo good.
Has a guaranteed spot on my neck. It’s just perfect. Thank you
I absolutely love my tiny star! I got to pick out the exact stone I wanted and she also gave amazing feedback on how it would look in the setting. Amazing customer service and super communicative. Easily my favorite piece of jewelry right now. Will be buying many more!
