Wildcat Necklace -Sterling Silver Moissanite by Madaras

Inspired by Diana Madaras’ original painting “Wildcat”, this piece embodies the transformation of art into fine jewelry. 

The model for this piece is Wilma, a rescued wildcat from the Tucson Wildlife Center (TWC). Helping animals in need has been a lifelong passion for Diana, who began caring for them as a young girl in her father’s veterinary hospital. In recognition of her dedication, she was honored by TWC in 2018 for her outstanding contributions to the organization and its mission of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
