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.

Perfect iPad Case for Kids — Survives Drops!
Color: Purple
I bought this case for my daughter’s iPad and she absolutely loves it. It was very easy to install and feels really durable. The built-in stand is her favorite feature — she uses it to prop the iPad up during her Hooked on Phonics lessons and when watching videos. She also carries it with us in the car, and it has already survived a few drops onto concrete with no issues. The case does not include a screen protector, but I just added one separately and it works perfectly. It is a bit bulkier than my own iPad case, but that actually makes it easier for little hands to hold and carry. Overall, great protection and very kid-friendly design. Definitely recommend for younger kids!

Pretty colors, child proof protector (so far)
Color: Purple
Using for our daughters IPAD which is her learning tablet. So far its been really good no issues with applying it and the colors are super cute. There is a slot for an pen if you have one and the stand functions wonderfully. Only time will tell how well it protects the tablet from tiny hands.

Nice case
Color: Navy/Green
Nice case for my 5-year old grandson. It is sturdy & was easy to put together. As a special needs child it works very well for him however, he does have trouble with the portrait view of the case. When using the portrait view, the unit often collapses as the prop doesn’t always stay in the locked position.
