This is such a fabulous piece.
A striking vintage gold-tone leopard brooch, likely dating to the late 1980s or early 1990s, captured mid-leap with incredible movement and presence. The elongated body and dramatic outstretched forelegs give it that powerful, fashion-editor energy — it doesn’t sit quietly, it prowls.
The body is pavé-set with clear rhinestones that catch the light beautifully, while vivid blue stones form the eyes, adding just the right amount of intensity and personality. The sculpting through the head and shoulders is particularly well done — dimensional, confident, and unmistakably bold. It feels substantial without being heavy.
The reverse features a traditional rollover safety clasp, secure and in good working order. No visible maker’s marks. The gold-tone is still bright and glossy, with only light signs of age-appropriate wear. Stones appear intact and well set.
Leopard and panther motifs have long been icons of confident dressing — think unapologetic glamour, strong tailoring, and a little bit of drama. This is the kind of brooch that transforms a simple blazer or coat instantly.
It’s glamorous, powerful, and honestly… just gorgeous.
