If the size of this Swarovski crystal cat o’ nine tail brooch did not catch you eye, the unusual subject matter and quality surely would. This fabulous cattails or bulrush (so many names, so much sparkle!) brooch is just over 4" high and 4 ¼" wide. The stalks and leaves have a matte gold-plated finish; the stalks are smooth while the leaves have fine vertical ribs. One-half of each cat tail flower is pave’ set with Swarovski cut-crystal chatons. The brooch has a safety clasp pin and is signed with the copyright "Swan" logo. This dramatic woodland flower is in excellent condition, a simply elegant accent on any dark color garment.
