A beautifully sculpted vintage leopard brooch with crystal detailing throughout the body and face. The movement in the design gives it that wonderful mid-stride “big cat” look — elegant, dramatic, and very reminiscent of the iconic panthère jewellery pieces that dominated luxury fashion in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
Finished in a rich gold tone with subtle sparkle throughout the spots and eyes, this is the kind of piece that instantly elevates a blazer lapel, trench coat, scarf, or knitwear. It also looks incredible pinned onto a handbag or hat.
There’s something very old-school glamour about animal jewellery like this — especially big cats — and it feels particularly relevant again now with the return of bold vintage accessories and maximalist styling.
Excellent vintage condition with light age-related wear consistent with use.
