Victorian Miniature
Does anyone own a Victorian Bulldog in the Los Angeles area? Please contact me, she is a nine month old puppy?
I purchased a mini english bulldog, that was supposed to grow to about 25 pds. At the rate she is going she will be around 55 pd. I weigh 100 pds. She is a handful. I’d love to know others who share my experience or who have a Victorian Bulldogs or who bought dogs from those crooks at The Bulldog Exchane, OriginalMinibulldogs.c… The Miniature Bulldog Club of America or whatever other couple of buiness names, Eric Quintella, Stacy and Michelle of Lake Worth FL. do business under. The kennel the dogs in GA and fly them out of FL and the use Dr. Ted Brinkman at the Animal Clinic in Lake Worth to examine their dogs. I bought online using pic and phone calls, big mistake–these are evil puppy mill runners. I am lucky my pup who arrived sick survived and is now the LARGEST MINI Bulldog in the WORLD. I stranger directed to ck out Victorian Bulldogs and now the lineage of my purebred dog is solved. I have a HYBRID. A mixture of 4 breeds of bulldog who’s features are all apparent in my dog.
Buying a dog online the way you did almost guarantees that you will get ripped off. Mini bulldogs are not recognized by the AKC and anyone can mix dogs together to create designer mutts and charge big bucks for nothing.
If you don’t want to adopt a shelter dog or go through a dog rescue service, you should find a REPUTABLE breeder through www.akc.org!

Victorian Jewelry – The Best Of Vintage Jewelry
Victorian jewelry is well-known for its academic value and also for the inimitable touch that it offers to antique charm. Even today casual buyers associate the majority of old jewelry pieces to the Victorian era owing to its unique characteristics. In fact it influenced the fashion of the masses, as the predominant design themes found in the Victorian jewelry were borrowed from native origins such as trees, flowers and birds. The early Victorian jewelry included delicate designs, lights and elaborate engravings.
Ultimately, the Victorian jewelry that became notable evolved as heavier and with more conservative designs, especially the two popular designs originated during the Victorian period, were known as Repousse and Cannatille. Repousse was identifiable owing to its solid forms that had fluted and raised edges giving the pieces of jewelry a characteristic of massive quality, while the Cannatille jewelry employed Gold Wire strands to wound and twist into elaborate designs.
The romantic period initiated with the ascension of Queen Victoria to the throne and her marriage to Prince Albert became an impetus. The techniques of the Victorian jewelry were characterized by using techniques such as piercing, filigree, and so on. Thin plates and Gold Sheets were used, besides other gemstones included pink topaz, blue zircon, citrine, ruby, amethyst, garnet, sapphire, aquamarine, emerald and peridot. The Victorian jewelry also included popular natural materials such as lava, bog oak, tortoise shell, vulcanite jet and ivory. The late Victorian era got influenced by the Italian, Greece and Egyptian archeological expeditions that brought light to the west in the form of an array of ancient jewelry. Once again designers capitalized the public imagination and some of them such as Giulano and Castellani were noteworthy as they were much sought after.
The common Victorian jewelry motifs had sentimental lockets enclosing a hair lock of the loved one and quite often serpents were seen as the eternity symbol. Other sentimental themes included love birds, clasped hands, love knots, hair jewelry, miniatures and mizpah. Jewels displaying such sentimental motifs had concealed messages for instance, a crescent moon meant honeymoon and made an appropriate gift to a new bride from her husband on their wedding night. Victorian people were captivated with flowers and attached symbolic meaning to each flower such as Lily of the valley denoted sweetness, Pansies represented thought, Yellow Poppy for success and wealth, Violets represented modesty, and so on. The early Victorians enjoyed inner meanings in the jewelry and after the death of Prince Albert, the jewelry became more austere such as heavy, dark stones as they were set in black enamel.
People coming on sports travel also showed interest in Victorian jewelry that depicted sporting themes as men and women pursued the sporting subjects. Slowly, intaglio crystals were reverse painted and exhibited hunting themes such as foxes, pheasant, rabbits, horses and dogs into the forms of jewelry. This collection also included buttons, brooches, stickpins, cuff links, pendants and watch fobs. Even today, the Victorian jewelry has its recognition and rules the hearts of many.
