Vintage-Style Rhodium or Gold-Tone Scottish Terrier Brooch with Black Enamel and Rhinestones

This is a decorative Figural brooch fashioned in the form of a Scottish Terrier (Scottie) dog. The piece is constructed from a cast gold-tone or rhodium-plated base metal, intricately adorned with a combination of surface finishes. The dog's torso is coated in a smooth, high-gloss black cold enamel or epoxy resin, which features a central emblem of a bow tie or collar charm inset with small round clear crystals. The head, tail, and legs are densely pavé-set with round, brilliant-cut clear glass rhinestones, simulating the texture of the terrier's coat. Regarding condition, the piece shows minor surface scratches on the black enamel and some slight dulling to the metal plating along the edges, consistent with light previous wear. No stones appear to be missing from the visible side. The craftsmanship indicates a mid-to-late 20th-century mass-market costume jewelry production, likely inspired by mid-century novelty pet motifs. The reverse is not visible, so specific maker's marks like Trifari or Monet cannot be confirmed, but the uniform stone setting and clean enamel application suggest a good quality commercial grade. It measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length.
