About this treasure:

An extremely rare and beautiful miniature work of art. This reverse painted crystal ring features a totally charming terrier looking out to the wearer. This would make an amazing addition to any jewellery lovers collection, especially this very unique example!

A technique that dates back to 1860, reverse painted intaglio crystal was first popularised by a Victorian gentleman called Essex. The reverse of a cabochon rock crystal is carefully hand carved into a elaborate shape and then painted forming an fine three dimensional image.

Here we have a fabulous dog, with a difference. What was once full of colour, the vibrant hues have worn to a soft white glow. Just as wonderful in its own unique way.
We love how prominent his features are, and he even is wearing a beautiful fine gold collar and lead. The more you look, the more detail youll seeing in his face. Its an exceptional example.

They have been set into a warm 9 carat hold band, however he is actually sitting within a higher carat gold bezel setting, which may indicate he started life as a gentlemans stick pin. The setting dates to the late Victorian era, so if this is a conversion it would have been created during that period.

Highly collectable and increasingly hard to find this is an amazing piece of history, art and antique jewellery

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.

Cozy Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
This is the true definition of Cozy Omegaverse. LA wedding coordinator meets her pack at the location for a couple’s destination wedding. Low angst because they are scent matched high heat with heats and knots. Everything you love about this genre with very little anxiety. Simply a fun experience to read and a book I will comeback to when I’m in a slump. I simply love reading this book

Cute Omegaverse story
Format: Kindle
3.75 stars and 2 for spice. Adorable Omegaverse story about a wedding planner who has to go to a small town to plan a wedding for a movie star. While there, she meets her pack. This covers her struggles of not living there but trying to keep her relationship going with her 3 Alphas. It's a quick read and cute, so I recommend it for people who like light-hearted RH stories.

real good
Format: Kindle
This was a solid read for the ABO universe. The characters are great. The smut scenes were well written. And the town is so cute I want to go there. It didn’t have much character development it just felt like I was getting to the characters as they were getting to know each other.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
