In 18k gold, and created around 1880, this weighty brooch features three cats. More accurately, what appears to be a mother cat and two playful kittens. Momma is protectively sitting next to her duo of fur.

One on its back and the other pouncing upon his brother or sister.

Modeled realistically, textured to perfection, whiskers, fur, musculature, eyes and expressions make this an utterly charming wearable trio.
