Dang!!! If diamonds are real thats a hell of a good find!!!
 
Those stones look like the only thing holding them in is glue. Would Tiffany glue diamonds into a socket like a piece of costume jewelry? And a 24K dog tail would bend like putty. Can we get a better pic of the piece and the Tiffany mark on the paw? Tiffany always marks their products with their name and purity. You shouldn't have to take it to a jeweler to tell you it's Tiffany and 24K. It's stamped onto every product. There are counterfeits, too. I just don't want you to think you have a 6 figure piece of jewelry if it's not. Please do some of your own research.
 
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but nothing adds up here. Your jeweler should have known these were not rose cut diamonds also. I blew up a part of your pic and the stones definitely have a flat top and a visible girdle around the edge. Also included a typical circa 1900 Tiffany mark that should be on the paw like you said. Maker, purity, and probably a serial number. Correct me if I'm wrong, but have some proof to back it up and I will apologize for doubting your story.

That gold sure looks nice in your blowup.
No brass or chipping.
I'm going with real.
