About the Item

Delightful carved amethyst, diamond, natural pearl 18K yellow gold dachshund Early 20th Century Naturalistically modelled, attractive shade variation to the amethyst, diamond eyes, 18K yellow gold dog collar with a natural pearl pendant. The tradition of carved hardstone figures with gold mounts and precious gemstones can be traced back to the 18th Century, but it was in the late 19th to early 20th century, under Carl Faberge, that this technique was perfected to the highest level. These enchanting miniture figures delighted the Russian aristocracy and were avidly collected by King Edward VII, Queen Elizabeth II and Malcolm Forbes, among others. A Faberge dachshund puppy, agate and rose diamonds, 1907 is in the Royal Collection, London. The finest hardstone carvings of animals are distinguished by the thoughtful use of hardstone to highlight the animal's natural features- green nephrite for a frog, multi-colored agate for an owl, smoky quartz for a mouse. Amethyst is an imaginative choice for a dachshund as the black variety of the breed will, at times, have a purple sheen to the coat. The body of the figure is a deeper purple with the head, paws and tail, a lighter shade of lavender, well carved.
