Piaget Gold Lion Brooch with Emerald Eye, Circa 1960
5729
A striking and finely crafted 18ct yellow gold lion brooch by Piaget, Paris, dating to circa 1960. Bold, sculptural, and full of personality, the piece is formed as a proud lion's head, its richly textured gold surface capturing the animal's flowing mane and powerful features in impressive detail.
One eye is set with a vivid emerald, providing a beautifully judged flash of colour against the warm yellow gold. This small but dramatic detail lends the lion a particularly expressive presence, giving the brooch both life and individuality. The design balances naturalistic modelling with the confident, stylised glamour associated with high jewellery of the 1960s.
The lion has long been a symbol of strength, courage, and nobility, and here it is interpreted with exceptional elegance. Its substantial gold construction and finely worked detail make it equally successful as a jewel to wear and as a miniature sculptural object.
A rare and distinctive signed Piaget brooch, ideal for collectors of vintage gold jewellery, animalier pieces, and mid-century design. It would make a powerful statement on a lapel, coat, dress, or scarf, while offering the enduring appeal of a beautifully made jewel from one of the world's most celebrated names in luxury.
