Antique Dog Brooch of 10k Gold

A charming antique dog brooch (circa 1900-1910), featuring a finely modeled pit bull in solid 10k gold with garnet doublet eyes, adorned with a ruby and diamond collar that adds a vibrant touch of color and sparkle. The sculptural detailing beautifully captures the strength and loyalty associated with the breed—qualities celebrated in Victorian and Edwardian animal jewelry.

Although the reverse bears a 14k hallmark on the clasp, the brooch has been professionally tested using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with traditional jeweler’s acid testing to be 10k gold.

The piece measures approximately 1.4 inches high by 1.3 inches wide and weighs 6.52 grams. In excellent antique condition, this brooch is a delightful fusion of personality, craftsmanship, and gemstone elegance—perfect for the collector who appreciates expressive animal jewels with authentic period charm.
