Mid-Century Whimsical Cat Ruby & Amethyst Brooch in 14k Yellow Gold

This charming mid-century brooch is crafted in 14k yellow gold and features a whimsical cat design with wonderful sculptural character. The cat’s body is formed around a large oval-cut purple amethyst weighing approximately 6.50 carats, creating a bold splash of color at the center of the piece.

Two round red rubies totaling approximately 0.14 carat are set as the cat’s eyes, adding a lively and expressive touch. Textured gold detailing defines the face, ears, whiskers, paws, and curled tail, giving the brooch a playful dimensional appearance characteristic of mid-century novelty jewelry. A traditional pin stem and clasp are fitted to the reverse.

The brooch measures approximately 1.15 by 0.5 inches and weighs 5.71 grams.

Amethyst, the birthstone for February, is traditionally associated with calm, clarity, and balance. Ruby, the birthstone for July, is associated with vitality, courage, and love.
