[This post is a collaboration with Eternal Collection.]
When the people at Eternal Collection got in touch last week and asked if I’d like to try a piece of their lovely jewellery, I went straight to the brooch section, and then straight to this little Swarovski crystal puppy dog… which just so happens to look just like my own little puppy – although it has to be said that the brooch is definitely a whole lot cleaner.
I may not have a great track record with brooches, but I do love them, and they’re one of the few pieces of jewellery I wear on a regular basis. I’ve always been lazy about accessories: I love the look of pretty bracelets and necklaces, but brooches seem to work better with my personal style, and I love the way they can make a plain sweater seem special, or brighten up a winter coat.
This little guy didn’t take much justifying on my part, though – he just reminds me so much of Rubin, from the sweet little face to the exuberant personality, that my mind was made up as soon as I laid eyes on him. (And yes, I DO think of this brooch as a “him”…) With that said, there was also a cat, a horse, an elephant and a penguin which caught my eye – I’ve had to stop looking, or I’ll end up with a brooch menagerie. Well, you all know how I feel about Things That Have Faces…
You can check out the Eternal Collection’s brooch collection at their website, which also carries a range of beautiful jewellery and other accessories. If you do end up buying yourself a brooch with a face, don’t forget to tell me which one you choose!

01/28/2015Dog brooches are basically the best brooches. I have an Erstwilder one of my future dog (seeing as I can’t have a real one right now) and it makes any outfit instantly brighter. Funnily enough, I’ve been wearing it particularly on my black faux fur short jacket! I love yours on a furry collar though, such a nice touch.
