Nimble and sensual, she approaches stealthily, preparing for her attack. Her slim silhouette is enhanced by powerful muscles covered with crystal fur sculpted by thousands of luminous spots. Designed by Marie-Claude Lalique, the Zeila Panther embodies the feline strength and grace. Trained as a jeweler at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in the late 1880's, Rene Lalique gained recognition as an independent designer for some of the era's great jewelry houses including Cartier and Boucheron. Eventually, he turned to glassmaking, and his techniques were a triumph for the Art Deco movement. Every piece of Lalique is finely detailed and produced by hand in Alsace, France.
