Description

View Cat Brooch Rhinestone Eyes Gold Tone Bow Tie Vintage Figural Kitty Pin with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The reverse has an integrated pin stem rather than a conventional brooch bar, with a separate clutch back for securing it to clothing. No maker signature is visible in the photographs. This is exactly the kind of quirky cat jewelry that works as both an accessory and a conversation piece. This wonderfully expressive vintage cat brooch turns a simple feline face into a true personality piece. The openwork gold tone silhouette forms pointed ears, rounded cheeks and a broad smiling mouth, while sweeping dimensional whiskers give the face movement and character. Two large faceted clear rhinestones create bright, almost comically oversized eyes, with a polished round nose and sculptural bow tie completing the look. The combination of highly polished gold tone metal, openwork construction, oversized rhinestone accents and playful figural styling is characteristic of novelty costume jewelry popular during the later 20th century. The reverse has an integrated pin stem rather than a conventional brooch bar, with a separate clutch back for securing it to clothing. No maker signature is visible in the photographs. This is exactly the kind of quirky cat jewelry that works as both an accessory and a conversation piece. The exaggerated eyes, whiskers and little bow tie give it an unmistakably mischievous expression that will especially appeal to cat lovers and buyers drawn to whimsical vintage figural jewelry. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It Those enormous rhinestone eyes give this kitty irresistible personality. The openwork cat face looks bold without feeling visually heavy. A tiny sculptural bow tie makes the design even more charming. Polished gold tone catches the light beautifully. An ideal personality piece for a cat lover or vintage jewelry wardrobe. Whimsical enough to make even a simple jacket or sweater memorable. Condition Good vintage condition with age appropriate surface wear to the gold tone finish, including scattered rubbing, fine scratches and areas of finish loss visible particularly along raised edges and on the reverse. The clear faceted rhinestone eyes remain present and bright. The pin stem and separate clutch back are present.
