Price guide to Cartier “Panthere” brooches. Ever since the exotic spots of a panther appeared on a Cartier watch in 1914, the famed jewelry house has forever embraced the power and elegance of the iconic jungle cat. The addition of Jeanne Toussaint, a fearless woman in her own right, solidified the panther as Cartier’s when she introduced the full cat in 1919. Reference: Jewels du Jour.
Among the Duchess of Windsor Collection of jewelry gifts, Edward lavished on Wallis Simpson was the signature ‘Great Cats’ commissioned from the House of Cartier. It was the famous Panther Bracelet that enjoyed pride of place among Wallis Simpson’s Big Cat Jewelry Collection. Reference: Antique Jewelry Investor
