Leopard figural jewelry first became popular shortly after 1914 when famed jewel house Cartier released its first panther design. Their popularity skyrocketed after Wallis Simpson -- the glamorous American divorcée whom King Edward VIII abicated the crown of England in order to marry-- commissioned three panther pieces (two brooches and a bracelet) from 1948-1950. Reproductions or homages in semiprecious and nonprecious materials took off around that time and continued in popularity through the early 70's, though they're still a popular motif. I suspect your piece is one of those homages made sometime between 1960-1980. Duplicates of your particular pin are currently selling on Etsy and eBay from between $18-$25
