Fine gold whiskers extend from either side, and its tail curves back along its haunches in the characteristic pose of the seated lion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts clip-brooch construction allows the piece to be worn on a lapel, scarf, beret, or evening dress with equal security, a practical refinement typical of French high jewelry of the period. Measuring 4.5 cm in height and with a gross weight of 20.3 g, the lion has the substantial scale of a true jewel of character, large enough to be legible at a distance and finely worked enough to reward close observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is branded Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels and numbered in the tradition of high jewelry of the maison, and bears French assay marks, a provenance sought after by collectors of 20th-century Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels. The Lion Ébouriffé is one of those Van Cleef models that defined an entire category: the animal jewel as an expressive object, where craftsmanship, character, and material come together in a small sculpture to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Reuven Veksler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54572495143241,"sku":"SKU: 22882","price":30000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/5311\/1432\/files\/mp_51251_0.png?v=1781006097","url":"https:\/\/58facettes.com\/products\/van-cleef-arpels-broche-lion-ebouriffe-en-or-jaune-emeraudes-et-diamants","provider":"58 Facettes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
