This 1 1-2"W leopard brooch with rhinestone collar has green cab eyes, a faux coral tongue and shiny jet black spots, in a goldtone setting. By Panetta, founded in NY in 1945 by Italian designer Benedetto Panetta, this piece ca 1960s
He's beautiful, his pose is so very leopard like, just like he's climbed up onto some overhanging branch in a steamy jungle and is longing on that branch waiting for prey to pass by underneath!
I remember one of the most famous leopard pins was owned by Wallis Simpson ant Elizabeth Taylor bought it at the estate sale. Borgeous version you have.
Adorable with all its rhinestone spots!
Thanks Lauren for the super words, I am in total agreement with your vision here of this leopard waiting on a branch to pounce on its prey, very like the wildcats languishing on branches in the Cat People movies lol!
Phil both Mrs Simpson and Ms Taylor had such lovely jewelry, what a wonderful comparison thank you so much for the kind words
Eileen thank you for the confirmation, the globe panther sounds gorgeous. I think the rhinestone collar is really pretty too and makes the cat look less savage! Great comment I'm so glad you liked this
Thank you MrsT, what I like best about his spots is their shiny look, think it enhances the leopard you know, appreciate the compliment
Many thanks everyone for the love
