Vintage Butler Leaping Lion Brooch, Gold Tone with Aurora Borealis Rhinestones — Trombone Clasp
💛 This fierce little feline brings instant drama.
A leaping lion stretches mid-pounce, sculpted in warm metals with a mane that catches the light and a body paved in shimmering aurora borealis stones.
The profile is sleek from every angle, and the sparkle dances from soft pastel flashes to icy blues as you move.
📜Signed BUTLER on the reverse, this piece comes from the Butler costume-jewelry label, a Canadian brand founded in the late 1980s by Jay and Betty Butler. They began as a small family venture and grew by producing hand-finished, rhinestone-forward designs.
This lion pin uses a trombone clasp (a tubular casing is used to cover the end of the pin). Pull up to open, and down to lock. This style appears primarily from the early 1900s through the 1930s, but it does crop up later (late 20th century) on some costume pieces.
📐
Approx. 2 in long × ¾ in tall (5.1 × 1.9 cm). Compact, but with a lot of presence.
✔️ Very good vintage condition with only light signs of wear. Stones are bright, gold-tone finish is glossy, the trombone clasp works smoothly.
Face and tail in a brassy tone; mane and frame in rich gold-tone metal
Body fully pavé-set with AB rhinestones for multi-color sparkle
Marked BUTLER on the back.
Style it!
Pin it to:
🤍 A denim or leather jacket lapel for a cool “urban safari” moment.
🤍 A black blazer pocket to let the AB stones pop.
🤍 A chunky scarf or beret in fall/winter (brooches = instant chic).
🤍 The waistband of a little black dress, or gather a silk scarf at the shoulder.
🤍 A tote strap or hatband for a playful, roaring accent.
Why collectors love it
Figural big cats have a long runway in costume jewelry—from Deco panthers to 80s runway cats. This version balances fine mane texturing with that electric AB pavé, making it both wearable and very giftable.
