Each playful feline is formed from large pear-shaped gemstones that create the heads and bodies of the cats.
One brooch features two vivid amethysts totaling approximately 16 carats, while the companion cat is composed of two warm golden citrines weighing approximately 18 carats. Both cats are accented with turquoise cabochons forming lively eyes and tail detail.
The sculpted goldwork includes textured tails, delicate whiskers, and small bow accents that give the cats their whimsical personality. The bold scale of the gemstones combined with the expressive figural design makes the pair especially striking.
