A subsidiary of Dingo Enterprises. Purchases gems from Nova Alrodria, semiprecious stones from Klaasiya and Normark, silver from Arboria and Thalassa. Known for designing and handcrafting the Imperial Crown Jewels of Natopia (the Imperial State Crown, the Sword of Sovereignty, and the Fleur-de-Natopi Scepter), the royal crown of the Kingdom of Alrodria, the crown of the Principality of Lavalon (now owned by the demesne of Sororiya), the Pentheral tiara of Athlon, the Faronic crown of Flaventia, the princely crown of Tas Neemia, the royal crown of Leng, and the ducal crown of Klaasiya, the ducal crown of Modan-Malarboria, and the double-coronet of Ziegeland-Lochhatonia.

The crowns of Alrodria, Lavalon, and Leng were given as gifts to sovereign nations that eventually became part of Natopia and used for their demesnal coat of arms. When designing the first set of foreign crowns, the master jeweler at Dingo & Co. based each crown on the rank of a noble's coronet, depending on that jeweler's own interpretation on the importance of the foreign monarch's relationship to Natopia. Thus Lavalon, seen at once time as Natopia's sister republic, was given high station by basing the new principality's crown on a ducal coronet. The crown for Alrodria was made after it was annexed into Natopia, and it was less populated and smaller than Lavalon at the time. The crown for Athlon was based on a baron's coronet, at the time the island had not gained its importance as the center of the Bovic religion and was, merely, an unimportant fief of the Natopian emperor.
