Description
A beautifully detailed, hand-embroidered blue cat brooch — a face painted entirely in thread, with round yellow eyes that look straight at you, and a body of soft pink knots like a tiny knitted sweater. Made with patience and hundreds of stitches, it is a wonderful gift for embroidery and textile lovers, and for anyone whose cat has a personality of its own.
Wear it at the shoulder of a cream, gray or camel sweater, on a navy coat lapel or on a linen shirt in summer. Pink and blue sit happily with denim and soft neutrals, and against black the face simply glows.
The face is worked in layered satin stitch, the body in hand-tied thread knots crossed by two rows of blue rhinestone chain and dotted with silver-color-lined seed beads, and a border of blue seed beads and coiled French wire frames the whole piece. Velvet-backed, with a twist-lock pin on the reverse.
For the person who loves embroidery as much as they love cats.

✨ This brooch is suitable for medium-weight fabrics. For very fine silk, we recommend pinning it to a collar or a more structured part of the garment.
🎁 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 stitch, knot and bead is placed individually, by hand, with needle and thread — slow, close work, and the reason no two pieces are ever exactly alike. You will receive the cat shown in the photos.
🌸 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, stroking the knotted body in one direction — never pull at the threads; 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.
