Description
A cheerful, hand-embroidered black cat brooch in its very best outfit — a coat of shimmering sequins in red, lavender and iridescent blue-green, a collar of faceted blue beads and a sweetly embroidered face with white whiskers. Whether you're a cat lover or simply a fan of playful handmade jewelry, this little character is sure to draw smiles.
It looks wonderful on a gray or tweed blazer, a camel coat, a cream cable-knit or a navy cardigan, where the red and blue sequins do the talking, and it adds a bright note to a denim jacket or a fabric tote bag.
The face is stitched in satin stitch, the ears are filled with red beads, the body is worked bead by bead over black seed beads, and a fine silver-tone coiled trim keeps the face crisp against the sparkle below. Hand-embroidered on a velvet-backed base with a metal pin on the reverse.
Cheerful, a little theatrical, and hard not to smile at.

🎁 Perfect for Gifting: A thoughtful gift for someone special — your brooch arrives in a gift box, ready to bring joy. Or keep it for yourself; you deserve it too.
🧵 Made by Hand: Every bead, sequin and stitch is placed individually, by hand, with needle and thread — slow, close work, and the reason no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Two brooches were made to this design, so the cat you receive may differ very slightly from the photos — in bead placement and in the way the light catches the facets. That small difference is the signature of handwork, not a flaw.
🌸 Care: Keep it dry — take it off before showering or swimming, and put it on only after perfume, hairspray and lotion have dried. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush — brush in the direction the sequins lie, and don't press or fold them; no water, no jewelry cleaner, no cleaning sprays. Store it flat, on its own, so the beadwork and trim don't rub against other pieces.
⚠️ Safety First: This brooch has a sharp pin and is decorated with small beads and parts. It is not a toy — keep it away from small children, and never let a child put the brooch or any of its parts in their mouth. Please fasten and unfasten the pin with care.
📸 Please Note: The photos are close-ups; the photo in hand shows the true scale. Colors can look a little different from one screen to another.
