Description
A glittering, hand-embroidered black cat brooch — the sitting silhouette every cat owner knows, ears up and tail curled, covered edge to edge in tiny faceted beads that catch the light like a night sky. Playful yet elegant, it makes a lovely gift for cat lovers and for anyone who likes a little sparkle on a dark coat.
Wear it on a black wool coat, a velvet blazer or a charcoal turtleneck for all-black drama, or on camel, gray, denim or cream, where the silver-color outline and the sparkle stand out. Lovely on a lapel, at the shoulder of a sweater, on a beret or on a tote bag — and a choice for Halloween.
Small faceted beads and glossy gunmetal-black rounds are scattered over the whole body, and a fine silver-tone coiled trim follows the outline down into the curl of the tail. A few gunmetal-tone beads add a cooler metallic glint. 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 little night sky in the shape of a cat — for anyone who likes their black with sparkle.

🎁 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.
