RUSSIAN MARBLED AGATE DOG STATUETTE FIGURINE with GENUINE DIAMOND EYES
Agate Dog (Sobaka - Russian for Dog) with a Solid 72 Pink and Yellow Gold Collar and Mine-Cut GENUINE Diamond Eyes in a Custom-Made Casket. This piece is crafted from solid agate and is a GENUINE museum-quality creation. It is a hand-carved representation of a dog with finely incised details, delicately adorned with a solid yellow gold collar. The collar, meticulously crafted from pink and yellow gold, even includes the 'holes and peg' portion of the buckle, showcasing remarkable attention to detail. The red and yellow hues of the gold contrast beautifully with the red and gold bi-color Carnelian Agate. This piece is an exceptionally rare investment-grade item, marked by the master himself, and among the most challenging to find globally. A Wonderful and Prestigious Gift for any Occasion.

HOUSE of FABERGE: The House of FABERGE is a jewellery firm founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav Faberge, using the accented name FABERGE. Gustav's sons, Peter Carl and Agathon, and grandsons followed him in running the business until it was nationalized by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The firm was famous for designing elaborate jewel-encrusted FabergE eggs for the Russian Tsars, and for a range of other work of high quality and intricate detail. In 1924, Peter Carl's sons Alexander and Eugene FABERGE opened FABERGE and Cie in Paris, making similar jewellery items and adding the name of the city to their rival firm's trademark, styling it Faberge, PARIS.
