This powerful brooch encapsulates the appreciation for storytelling and the full expression of the human experience that my mother valued above all else in jewelry. While only made of silver and simply engraved, the image of the stalking cat above the bird, girded by the three words “Desire”, “Want” and “Need” shows the darker side of our psyche. Carolyn was also a cat lover, which likely made the purchase of this piece inevitable.
