This unique brooch depicts a panda made of gold-plated metal, decorated with black enamel and richly inlaid with clear crystals. The panda's face, ears and outlines are highlighted with gold-plated accents, giving the piece a sense of luxury and warmth. The "A&S" marking embossed on the back indicates that this is the work of the prestigious British company "Attwood & Sawyer". This manufacturer, operating since 1956 and especially famous in the 1970s and 1980s, was known for its carefully crafted jewelry depicting animal motifs, often decorated with Swarovski crystals. Panda brooches are rarer than their classic swans or butterflies, and are therefore considered a sought-after piece by collectors.
