The gentle curve of the neck, the bridle picked out with precision, and that slightly alert expression which gives it a real sense of character. Essex crystals were never quick pieces to produce; each one is worked from the reverse and painted in layers, meaning no two are ever quite the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"766\"\u003eSet in a simple 18ct gold mount, the restraint of the setting allows the crystal to take centre stage, exactly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"986\"\u003eEquestrian subjects were particularly favoured, often chosen to reflect ownership, passion, or simply admiration for the animal itself. There is something very English about them. Understated, but full of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003eA lovely example, and increasingly hard to find with this level of detail and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57011201606005,"sku":"148M","price":1020.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/early-20th-century-18ct-gold-essex-crystal-tie-pin-of-horse-head-2942841.jpg?v=1775074707","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/en-be\/products\/early-20th-century-18ct-gold-essex-crystal-tie-pin-of-horse-head","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
