Essex crystals are miniature pieces of artwork that were popular in jewelry from the Victorian Era through the Edwardian Era.

Essex crystals are made from rock crystal that has been polished into a domed cabochon with a flat base.  A design is drawn on the flat surface and then carefully carved and then painted, by hand.
