A coveted find for serious connoisseurs of archival vintage costume jewelry: an authentic 1980s articulated big cat shoulder brooch by premium Canadian designer D'Orlan, utilizing historic Marcel Boucher design molds. While standard single-tail versions of this panther design appear occasionally on the secondary market, this is the ultra-rare triple-tail variant. It features three independently linked, flexible tail strands that sway gracefully with fluid movement. The substantial, multi-sectional jointed body allows the panther to dramatically contour along the natural curve of your shoulder, collarbone, or lapel. The front face is heavily encrusted with brilliant, fiery pave-set clear crystal rhinestones contrasted by piercing emerald-green rhinestone eyes. It is finished in D'Orlan's signature high-quality, rich 22k yellow gold plating. The reverse side features the authentic style inventory number stamp "2121" alongside the official D'Orlan circular "© d" casting hallmark emblem. A sturdy dual-pin configuration to distribute weight evenly and anchor the piece securely to your garment. Hardware & Reverse: Both safety-catch pin fasteners work perfectly and lock securely. The gold-plated backing shows some natural vintage tarnish and patina consistent with a 40+ year-old piece. This tarnish is strictly on the back and completely hidden from view when worn.Specifications:Brand: D'Orlan / Marcel Boucher design mold eraDesign Number: Signed 2121 & D'Orlan hallmark on back.
