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 18 reviewsI got the larger size of the 14k bolt clasp and I love it. Works as a connector and a way to make a charm stand out. Very well made. I would order from Tris and Rue again.
Love this little star! She is a doll 🥹✨
Love this new addition to my collection. Can’t wait for the colored stone creations!!!
I was eyeing this piece for a while and finally bit the bullet and treated myself and I couldn’t be happier. Exactly as I expected it, i think it even looks just like my cat!
Incredible piece. I LOVE it. Highly recommend.
I had been eyeing her bolt clasps for a long time and was finally able to pull the trigger. It definitely did not disappoint. Amazing quality, as described and priced very fairly. But what really struck me was the amazing person behind the business. Gracious, knowledgeable and truly the kindest person. So wonderful and easy to engage with. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
I was looking for the perfect clasp and tris and rue definitely has it, I signed up for emails to be the first to grab one and I don't regret it at all. love it
Love the clasps I purchased and have been using them every day since they arrived. Patricia was super helpful and prompt with communication and shipping. Highly recommend Tris and Rue.
I saw these masks all the time when I was traveling in Italy! Brings back so many good memories.
Not only did it come BEAUTIFULLY wrapped, it is even more gorgeous in person than I had ever hoped! Needless to say, I am in love! Tris and Rue is amazing and I can’t wait for my next purchase with them!
First purchase was fabulous. Communication & item sent so quickly just as described
Will be back soon for more purchases
I purchased the medium bolt clasp and it’s incredibly versatile and can easily fit a shocking number of charms! Well made and now I’m eyeing the large version!
I ordered this wring in hopes to find the perfect “pre loved” wedding band that I can wear to work since I work in healthcare. I needed something sturdy and comfortable and this band is just that! It is the perfect size and great value for what I purchased. :) Patricia is a dream to work with and carries the prettiest gold! She answers all of your questions with kindness and patience. I will continue to support her and her business!
I use this bolt clasp almost every day. It’s a perfect connector for a charm jumble. Arthritis in my hands makes it hard for me to connect most chain clasps. This bolt, which stays open until you click it closed makes all my chains easier to use. Love it!
Tris & Rue made my buying experience so easy and the owner had great communication and even gave care instructions. I am so in love with my ring and look forward to purchasing from Tris & Rue again.
