Classic Standing Cat Charm - Gold Stainless Steel - 11.5x19.3mm

Classic Standing Cat Charm - The Deco Cat, Drawn in One Line

An upright cat in profile, cast in gold-tone stainless steel and pared back to a single flowing outline - straight back, tucked forepaws, sharp triangular ears, and a long tail that sweeps up and curls into a question mark beside the body. The face carries almond eyes and a fine engraved muzzle, just enough expression to make it a cat rather than a cat shape. It measures 11.5mm wide by 19.3mm tall and 3mm deep at 1.86g.

The styling is deliberately 1920s: this is the Deco cat, all curve and poise, the kind that sat on a mantelpiece in black lacquer. Both faces are modelled, so it reads properly whichever way it turns on the wrist, and the high polish makes the tail's curl catch light as it swings. Slim enough at 3mm to sit between chunkier charms without pushing them apart - a good anchor for a JewelBuild™ stack.

FAQs

1. Is it flat or three-dimensional?
Three-dimensional, but slim - 3mm deep, with both sides modelled rather than one face stamped and the other left blank. It has shape without bulk.

2. Can the back be engraved?
No - the cat is sculpted on both sides, so there is no plain panel to engrave. If you want a name on a charm, choose one of our flat-backed pieces.

3. Is it magnetic?
No - this one tests completely non-magnetic. Some steel charms respond slightly and some do not; both are normal, because cast stainless steel varies in ferrite content. Full explanation in Is Magnetic Steel Jewellery Fake?.

4. Will the gold colour wear off?
The tone is ion-plated over stainless steel, which is far more durable than thin costume plating. Perfume, chlorine and abrasive polishes are the three things that shorten its life.

5. How does it attach?
It comes on a jump ring, which sits over a chain link or a charm carrier. If you would rather clip it on and off by hand, we can add a small lobster clasp - just ask when you order.

6. Is it a good gift for a cat owner?
It is the most-requested motif we stock after the heart. At this scale it goes onto a bracelet she already wears rather than asking her to start a new one. Every order arrives gift-ready - see JewelGift™.

How to Style the Standing Cat

Its height does the work, so give it space and keep the charms either side small and plain. It sits beautifully at the centre of a FortunaLink™ bracelet, or alone on a fine chain where the tail's curl reads clearly at the collarbone.
