A fierce and opulent vintage piece from The Franklin Mint, dated 1987. Inspired by high-jewelry big cat motifs, this dramatic bangle features two opposing leopard heads finely rendered in textured gold-tone metal with hand-painted black spot detailing and sparkling red rhinestone eyes.
The rich, matte-black resin body is shaped to mimic luxurious carved ebony wood, joined at the top by a central gold-tone ring connector. Equal parts wild sophistication and classic 1980s power-dressing, this statement hinged cuff makes an extraordinary addition to any vintage animal-themed jewelry collection.
