A large, mid twentieth century charm, fabricated in 18k yellow gold, resembling a classic doghouse with a pup inside! Our faithful doggo was hand-carved from vibrant Sardinian coral, and the carver has positioned a naturally-occurring white spot in the middle of his forehead. He sits inside the doorway of his gold house, wearing a twisted gold tie out— beside him, a water bowl (a lapis lazuli cabochon, set in a sawtooth bezel).  On the roof of the doghouse we find two, further, bezel-set lapis cabs. The house itself is textured, all-over, with glittering, linear engraving, and beautiful ray-like motifs also decorate its back and sides. This extra large Italian charm is beautifully made— we love the whimsical subject matter, and the cheerful color combination and coral and lapis! This hangs from an oversized jump ring— it wears well on a long neck chain, or as a single charm on a chunky bracelet. Marked Italy, 18k.
