Above all else, follow your heart.  When we first found these beautifully-crafted pins, we fell instantly in love.  The pair are jeweled in turquoises, coral, and colored glass, set in gilt brass, and depict a Foo/Fu dog and a deity meditating above a crescent shape.  Likely hailing from India or China and dating to the early-mid 20th century, each shows stunning workmanship and incredible detail in their bezel settings and overall composition, and we couldn't resist pairing them with simple, polished turquoise magnesite beads and a wire-worked gilt metal toggle from India, a fitting combination in both style and origin.  Approximately 19" in length, it is far and above a favorite.
