Charming vintage 18kt yellow and white gold dog brooch rendered in an expressive openwork design with wonderful dimensional texture and personality. The sculptural form captures the playful elegance and character often associated with fine mid-century Italian animal jewelry. The dog is crafted in richly textured yellow gold with white gold accents highlighting the face and collar area, creating beautiful contrast and depth.

The piece is accented with nine single cut diamonds decorating the eyes and collar, estimated to weigh approximately 0.10 carat total weight, graded approximately G-H color and VS clarity. The eye is further enhanced by a cabochon sapphire measuring approximately 1.85 mm, while the nose features a larger cabochon sapphire measuring approximately 3.3 mm, adding a whimsical and luxurious touch.

The brooch measures approximately 40 mm x 29 mm and weighs 12.3 grams. Stamped “750” and numbered “1565,” possibly of Italian origin. A delightful collector’s piece, beautifully suited for both everyday wear and fine jewelry collections.
