Enameled Leopard Head Hinged Bangle Bracelet
Jewelry (Costume/Fashion)

Enameled Leopard Head Hinged Bangle Bracelet

This is a statement bangle bracelet featuring a bypass-style design with two leopard or panther heads meeting at the top. The body of the bracelet is crafted from metal, finished with a vibrant yellow-gold enamel base and dark brown hand-applied leopard spots. The leopard heads and decorative textured spacers are finished in a polished silver-tone or rhodium metal. The craftsmanship indicates a mid-to-high-end costume jewelry piece, mimicking the 'Great Cats' series made famous by Cartier or Kenneth Jay Lane. The spacers and the cat collars feature beaded or milgrain detailing, adding textural contrast. It features a visible hinge at the bottom, indicating it is a 'clamper' style clasp for easy wear. The condition appears excellent with no visible loss to the enamel or significant tarnish to the metal, though light surface scratches may be present on the interior. The style is indicative of late 20th-century fashion jewelry, likely from the 1980s or 1990s, when animal motifs were highly popular. The interior likely contains a maker's mark or metal purity stamp not visible in this photo.
