J.J. Jonette Matte Gold Jaguar Brooch

J.J. Jonette Jewelry, initially founded by Abraham Lisker in 1935, underwent a name change to J.J. Jonette in the 1940s, representing the initials of Lisker's sons. Initially specializing in traditional jewelry, their pioneering use of base metals like pewter enabled the creation of intricate designs at affordable prices. During the 1960s and 1970s, the brand transitioned into costume jewelry, producing whimsical pieces that aligned with prevailing fashion trends. Renowned for their stylish yet affordable designs, the brand encountered challenges in the late 20th century and ultimately ceased operations in the early 2000s. This J.J. Jonette gold jaguar brooch is a testament to their craftsmanship, originating from the 1980s.

Dimensions: height 4 1/8 x length 1 1/2 inches
