The Sapphire Hunt - Les Bernard Collectible

Two great cats, nose to nose, holding a blue moon between them.

A signed Les Bernard hinged bangle in heavy gold-tone metal - one panther cast in polished gold, her mate paved head to shoulder in rhinestones, both of them with emerald-green eyes and a sapphire-blue cabochon suspended in the space between their faces. It is the moment before something happens. The hunt, or the truce, or the kiss.

Les Bernard was the house that made costume jewelry behave like fine jewelry - worn by Nancy Reagan, sold at Bergdorf's, built with a weight and a finish that most of its contemporaries never bothered with. This bangle has that heft. It clasps with a satisfying hinge and sits on the wrist like a cuff of consequence.

Wear It To Remember: Sapphire is the stone of clear seeing — of knowing what you want and holding your gaze on it. The panther is what you do next.

Signed Les Bernard. Excellent vintage condition, hinged closure, full stone set intact.
