Emerald Crystal Lion Brooch Pendant

This is the brooch that makes people stop mid-sentence and ask where you got it.

The Emerald Crystal Lion Brooch Pendant is a sculptural gold lion — rearing up, full of presence — set with large oval emerald green cabochon glass stones and diamond rhinestone accents that catch light from every angle. At approximately 3" x 2", it has serious scale and serious impact. This is not a delicate accent piece. It's a statement that carries a whole outfit on its own.

What makes it genuinely special: a circle loop on the back means it wears two ways. Pin it to a blazer lapel, a coat collar, or a chunky sweater as a brooch. Or thread it onto a chain and wear it as a bold pendant necklace. Two completely different looks, one extraordinary piece.

The emerald green crystal tones make it one of the strongest fall and winter brooches in the collection — forest green is one of the core fall jewelry colors, and this lion delivers it in the most dramatic way possible. It's equally striking on a black cape coat, a camel blazer, or a deep navy sweater.

Heirloom quality. Conversation-starting presence. The kind of piece you reach for every single time you want your outfit to mean something.

Two Ways to Wear It

As a brooch: Pin to the lapel of a blazer or coat, the collar of a cape, or centered on a chunky knit. The gold and emerald tones work beautifully against black, camel, navy, and forest green. For fall styling inspiration, see our guide to statement brooches for fall and how to wear a brooch in modern ways.

As a pendant: Thread onto a gold chain for a bold, one-of-a-kind statement necklace. Wear it solo on a plain chain against a simple black or white top and let it do all the talking. For necklace layering ideas, see our guide to how to layer necklaces like a pro.

Style it with the Danielle Black Studded Statement Cape ($388) for a fall look built entirely around drama and intention. Pair with the Tortoise Shell Oversized Round Sunglasses ($78) and the Black White Tweed Tote ($188) to complete the look.
