This is a pendant that my grandfather had made for my grandmother for one of their wedding anniversaries. They had two Boxers at the time, Rocky and Rusty (my grandmothers babies!). My grandfather took a picture of them to his jeweler and had him make this pendant (I have the original receipt). It's almost 3" in height. It's 18K yellow gold and has 51 diamonds. The diamonds on the dogs were placed where the dogs fur was white. It was given to me after my grandmother died because I loved those dogs about as much as she did.
So.... my grandfather had this made and gave it to my grandmother on the day of their anniversary, my grandmother said, "Harry, I wanted a new boat!" She went out and bought a new boat for herself. LOL!
Just thought I'd share! :)
