JJ Jonette
JJ Jonette Leopard Brooch and Earrings 1986
This stunning prowling leopard set was first produced in 1986 and the date imprinted to the back. They were commonly crafted in a variety of finishes including pewter and copper as well as the gold tone shown here. There is a large brooch measuring 7cms x 5cms, and matching earrings with pierced fitting each measuring 3cms x 3cms. A fabulous set to wear together or individually. The condition is as new, and perfect. There is a firm roll over safety clasp to the back. Recently arrived from USA., the Jonette Company closed in 2006. I suspect the moulds have continued to be used. The condition of this set is so good that I doubt it has been around since 1986, despite the imprint to the back of the brooch. Cant be absolutely sure. No known provenance and so stylish. Gift boxed by Vintageonline.
