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!

Let customers speak for us
from 85 reviewsThe little star is a beautiful piece of art. It is unique and makes me smile when I wear it. I like that it is thick and not a flat star and the weight of it is perfect to keep your chain from sliding around.
My star is the prettiest thing ever and brings me so much joy. After looking at them for a year or more I finally took the plunge and I’m so happy I did.
everything about this star is amazing! the packaging, the quality, the craftsmanship — and Patricia was so helpful in ensuring a smooth delivery. im in love with it!💗🌟
It’s absolutely exquisite!
I received my star and it came out perfect! Patricia was wonderful helping me through the customization process; showing me what stones were available based on my interests and explaining the differences between them and the finishes of gold. There was open and clear communication the entire ordering process including shipping. I’m in love with my star!
Perfect weight. Gorgeous finish. Love it so much!
I am beyond pleased with my Little Star! Not only was picking her out easy and fun, but communicating with Patricia was too! The quality is wonderful with every tiny detail being perfect. A one of one piece like this at this price point is truly unbeatable! I am so excited to have my star forever and ever! I cannot recommend this shopping experience enough!!!
I purchased the Emma M. Lion 18K Mother Star (Teal Heart Sapphire in matte finish) during the most recent drop. I am beyond thrilled with the beauty, craftsmanship, and obvious care put into this perfect star charm. I have come across many star pendants throughout the years, but this is top-tier amazing! I now fully understand why people have several in their collection! The packaging was also carefully crafted with thoughtful intention. It is truly worth holding out for one and not settling on cheaper, subpar dupes. I look forward to adding to my collection from future drops!
I’d been admiring these stars for a while and I’m so glad I finally decided to buy one. Whether alone or on a stack, it shines bright. I’ll never take it off!
My Little star makes me so happy! It’s a beautiful solid piece with perfectly twinkly diamond. I’ve been wearing it non-stop since it arrived. It’s a wonderful tactile experience, like my own little worry stone!
Patricia’s little stars are my absolute FAVORITE piece of jewelry. They are so well-made and have such a satisfying weight to them. They are all different, so every star is special and unique, and the stones she chooses are so perfect and beautiful!
My purchase was an antique sterling graphic sun medallion. I love it. I also enjoyed my interaction with Priscilla who is very helpful with questions and requests. Thanks ladies!
I’m in love with this little golden star! To me, it is the perfect pendant. Simple, elegant, brilliant and unique. Thank you!
I have been eyeing a Little Star for a while and the timing just so happened to align for me to acquire my first. The most gorgeous dainty little star that is so well-crafted. My new daily driver.
I am completely obsessed with my Little Star. I've wanted one for a while and was finally able to make it happen. It's a gorgeous piece that feels weighty and solid in hand. It looks stunning solo on a chain and I can't wait to play with layering it with other charms. It is definitely a life-long love.
