RARE Vintage Chinese Zodiac Dog Pendant, by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co.

This piece is perfect for Peretti superfans. It’s the Dog from Elsa Peretti’s quietly iconic Chinese Zodiac collection for Tiffany & Co., which came out in the early 1980s and was only made for a short time. Peretti used her signature sculptural style, with soft, abstract curves that suggest the animal without being too literal. It’s wearable modern art.

Made from 18kt yellow gold, this Dog pendant has the smooth, effortless feel that Peretti is known for. It’s tactile, warm, and easy to recognize if you know her work. These zodiac pieces were produced in much smaller numbers than her main designs, like the Bone cuffs and Open Hearts, so they’ve become collector favorites. They’re hard to find, and gold versions are even rarer!

The Dog is the zodiac sign for people born in 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018. It stands for loyalty, honesty, and protective energy. This makes the pendant feel personal and quietly powerful, like a small golden talisman with its own story.

A beautiful and highly collectible piece of Tiffany history from the late 70s.
