cute. the little one would play but mama says don't get too close...
Very cute- it looks like a glazed porcelain actually, love the way mama tiger is sitting- sorta protecting her cub behind her and daring you to try and reach it, all while baby is playfully clambering up her back!
so cute and playful ....
Oh, this is outstanding Jenni! I really love those green rhinestone eyes.
The cuteness, and the use of gold in shades that inspire, so wonderful !~
I was in love with the mum and cub even before I realised the cub was a trembler.
How nice is that!
Thank you for the kind love all

Lori thank you for the great comment & sweet vignette, it is as real tiger mamas they keep their babies close, so much danger in the wild!
Thanks Lauren for your wonderful praise & yes, the front of this brooch could pass for glazed porcelain (there are some brooches that actually are made of ceramic, but the metal setting is the giveaway here) I love the semi-real tones of a Bengal tiger & mom is certainly big enough! The cub has alot of mom to play on :)
Thanks couldbe for your really nice comment and seeing the cute factor here, it is kind of a gentle depiction of the tiger, a beautiful but really fearsome jungle cat
Scott thank you for your fab compliments, this is one in a series of mom & baby animal brooches by St John, luckily I found a few they were very popular. Love those bright green eyes as well, it's so nice when they show them in pairs rather than the small lone eye
Thank you Phil for your awesome praise I am delighted you liked this wild animal brooch, I know I tend to go overboard with certain animals in my collection but I really do love the big cats - have only seen them fenced in at zoos, but when their golden eyes look at you they're mesmerizing
Karen thanks for your super comment, yes isn't that cub trembler cute, it's actually on a low spring that doesn't show in the pix, but what I like is it's pretty stationary and not bouncy so you get slight refined movement. I know, it's amazing when jewelry designers can bring out the beauty of an animal while leaving out any vicious qualities, and of course being jewelry you never have to be afraid of them lol
Thanks Kurt & Mani for the thoughtful love it is warmly appreciated & I'm very glad that you liked this pair of tigers
Is that not so sweet. I love the adorable figurals. The expressions on the cats are so charming. Great find.
Maureen thank you so much for your wonderful praise and love for this tiger duo, your kind words are always appreciated. It's one of the St John animal mom and baby series of which I fortunately have a few as they are getting hard to come by lately - one more to come for a future post :)
Many thanks NaVi8274 for the love of this tiger mom & cub brooch, glad you enjoyed this & always grateful for the thoughtful consideration
With sincere thanks for the love friends
