Alexis Bittar Siabona panther brooch

lovely brooch by Alexis Bittar Panther pin will wear well with the matching earrings listed in a separate auction. In 1988, Bittar began to design his own line of jewelry. He bought his first block of Lucite in 1990 and holed up in his apartment figuring out how to hand carve it into the jewelry vision he had. Using Lucite and semi-precious stones and metals, Bittar began selling handmade pieces on the streets of Soho. In 1996, he designed a limited edition set of home wares for Barneys NY and Takashimaya, and a collection of Lucite and steel furniture for The Cooper Hewitt Museum. Never worn or used
