Description
A sleek, hand-embroidered black cat brooch — the sitting silhouette every cat owner knows, ears up and tail curled, worked entirely in black with a fine silver-color outline. Understated and graphic, it makes a lovely gift for cat lovers who like their style quiet, and for the men in your life who would never wear a "cute" brooch.
Pin it to a black wool coat or a charcoal blazer and let the texture do the talking, or set it against camel, oatmeal, gray or denim, where the silver-color outline really pops. It sits beautifully high on a lapel, at the shoulder of a sweater, on a beret or on the strap of a tote.
Rows of slim bugle beads alternate with rows of tiny rhinestone chain and seed beads, so the stripes show as texture rather than color and the coat flickers as you move. Every bead is stitched on by hand on a velvet-backed base, with two pins on the reverse so the long shape sits flat.
A quiet, graphic cat for people who would rather not wear a cute one.

🎁 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 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; 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.
