Silver Mismatched Cat Stud Earrings

The two are not the same cat: one is mid-stretch with its back arched and front paws flat, the other is walking off with its tail up.

Made from 925 sterling silver with a rhodium layer, each cat cut flat with no stones.

The rhodium layer stops the silver tarnishing and keeps the shine longer. The silver is nickel-free, lead-free and cadmium-free to European standards — hypoallergenic, and comfortable for most sensitive ears.

Anyone who lives with a cat knows both of these poses, which is most of the pleasure of them. Put the stretch in your left ear so the pair faces the same way — or do not, since nobody sees both your ears at once. Flat enough to sleep in, and an easy present for a colleague whose desk is covered in cat photographs. They arrive in a free jewellery box with a polishing cloth.
