Vintage Avon Gold Tone Cat Brooch with Blue Rhinestone Eyes and Bell Dangle

Description
A playful kitten lifts one paw to ring a tiny golden bell, gazing out with bright sapphire-blue eyes. Made by Avon in the 1970s, this whimsical figural brooch has finely textured fur, long etched whiskers, and a jaunty bow at the collar. The bell swings freely below the paw and adds a little motion. It’s a sweet piece for cat lovers, and it looks charming on a winter coat or holiday sweater.
