These charms were sometimes referred to as, sport crystals, Essex glass crystal, intaglios, rosettes or cabs. These charms are considered to be extremely rare and highly collectible.

History: " Sport crystals " are glass cabochons containing intaglio images or scenes. Each piece was hand-painted into a reverse carved image. Some of these rare pieces have unusual mother of pearl backgrounds. These amazing pieces of art were first manufactured during the Victorian Era. 19th Century and early Victorian crystals are sometimes referred to as " Essex crystal ". Because they are so intricate and tiny its difficult to manufacture them today. Current high manufacturing costs make producing these crystals cost prohibitive. As a result, these crystals have become sought after rarities and historical treasures.
