For sale a beautiful Victorian era, 18K yellow gold pendant brooch, featuring an enamelled panel depicting a whimsical scene: a cherub crowned with leaves, holding a delicate branch of flowers, gracefully riding a leopard. The leopard, rendered with exquisite detail, is shown savoring some delicious red fruits, adding a touch of playfulness and natural beauty to the composition. The panel is decorated with 8 half seed pearls on it and the gold frame of the pendant is adorned with gold dots.
This versatile piece transitions seamlessly between a pendant and a brooch, offering both functionality and timeless elegance.
A wearable artwork that celebrates the harmony of nature and myth, it is a perfect addition to anyone who appreciates the beauty of antique enamelled miniature portrait.

Chère Jade,
Quelle magnifique surprise que cette bague! La recevoir m'a fait énormément plaisir. Vous avez fait preuve d'une grande attention aux petits détails, et cela se voit. Le colis était joliment emballé et a été expédié rapidement. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la réactivité de votre communication ainsi que le petit mot et les délicieux biscuits qui l'accompagnaient, quel régal!
Encore une fois, un grand merci pour votre professionnalisme et à bientôt!
This is the most beautiful pendant/charm in my collection. The way the enamel catches the light is *chefs kiss*. Great customer service and the shipping was so fast! Such an amazing piece. It was wrapped beautifully. Will definitely be buying from this shop again :))
Be still my heart, this ring is breathtakingly elegant!
Jade has been kind, helpful, and professional from the very first message I’d sent her. She promptly sent me pictures of 2 rings worn together on her finger so I could decide whether they would make a nice bridal set. When I received my package, she had everything wrapped up so pretty, and she had included a pack of Bonne Maman cookies I had grown up eating (I am a French expat).
I have found the one and only place I ever want to purchase my jewelry from, and I definitely hope I get to meet Jade in person on my next trip home 🇫🇷!).
Merçi Jade, de tout mon cœur 💍
My ring is BEAUTIFUL and is beyond my wildest dreams! It’s perfection and I absolutely love it.

These earrings are so beautiful. Even more radiant in person. They are in excellent condition and the workmanship is so delicate and lovely. The perfect gift.
Thank you Jade.
The pendant is wonderful. The online photos do not give justice to how beautiful this piece of jewelry is. It arrived in an extremely elegant royal blue velvet box, accompanied by the most delicious citron tartlets. What an elegant and high class seller. I would definitely become a loyal customer.
The most beautiful ring, delivered very promptly, excellent customer service and I cannot recommend this seller highly enough!
Thank you Jade for my heart pendant! This pendant is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy with my purchase and the customer service I received. Jade was so kind and helpful. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
