QUIRKY WORLD ... Royals go to the dogs with corgi-shaped pendants

England: Corgi-shaped pendants are to go on sale in a new range for the Royal Collection to mark the summer opening of Buckingham Palace.

The handcrafted necklaces by jeweller Alex Monroe pay tribute to the Queen’s much-loved pets and feature a corgi — known for their short stubby legs — depicted from the side with its tongue hanging out.

The 22-carat gold-plated corgi pendants cost £150 each, while the sterling silver version is priced at £126.
