The "Pattes de Panthère" collection was launched in the 1960s by Maison FRED. Grace Kelly herself, a great lover of the Maison Fred, owned the ring in this series and counted it among her fetish jewels. It became emblematic, and was continued and enriched over the following decades. In 2019, Maison Fred has developed new models inspired by these mottled patterns in its "Feline Shadow" collection. Atelier Georland specialized in the creation of this collection and its various variants. Bibliography: MEYLAN, Vincent, FRED, Le joaillier solaire, Paris, Flammarion, 2021, pp. 162 ff.
