A cat hangs by both front paws from a single round clear crystal set just beneath the ring, its body stretched full-length below, head tipped back, hind legs and tail swinging free. It is 25mm tall but only 6.2mm wide, cast in gold-tone \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jewelhub.co.uk\/collections\/stainless-steel\"\u003estainless steel\u003c\/a\u003e, and weighs 1.62g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proportions are the whole trick. Because the charm is so narrow it takes up almost no room on a bracelet, yet it hangs lower than anything else in the range - so it reads as movement rather than mass, and it swings noticeably as you use your hands. The crystal sits in a proper bezel cup rather than a claw, which is why it catches light at the top of the drop and draws the eye down the cat's body. Both sides are fully modelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #faf6ef; color: #5c4a33; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #a67c52; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #976f47;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #a67c52; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #976f47;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eGold-tone stainless steel with one clear crystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e1.62g - a long drop with very little weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eCat hanging by its front paws from a bezel-set crystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e6.2mm wide x 25mm tall x 5mm deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eStone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eOne round clear crystal, bezel-set - not a diamond\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eReverse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eSculpted on both sides - no flat panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eMagnetic Properties\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eNon-magnetic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJump ring - clasp available on request\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eStatement drop charm, cat-lover gift\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #e6f2f2; border: 1px solid #8cb8ba; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #1d5054;\"\u003e✨ Tips of the Motif - The Cat and the Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0 0;\"\u003eReaching for a light you cannot quite hold is one of the oldest images we have - sailors steered by it, and the star has meant guidance and stubborn hope for as long as anyone has worn one.

Is the stone a diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, and we will never call it one. It is a round clear crystal, bezel-set into a polished steel cup. It gives the same white flash at a fraction of the cost - which is what lets a charm this size sit under nine pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Will it catch on clothing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLess than you would expect. It is narrow and the outline is smooth, with no protruding claws around the stone - the bezel setting was chosen partly for that reason. It hangs low, though, so it is not the one to wear under a tight cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Can the back be engraved?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo - the cat is sculpted on both sides. Our flat-backed charms are the ones for a name or a date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Is it magnetic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo - 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.

Why does it cost more than the other cats when it weighs less?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of the stone and the setting. A bezel has to be cut, the crystal seated and secured by hand, and that work costs more than the extra gram of steel in a solid charm. We price on what went into a piece, not only on what it weighs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Would it work on a necklace?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery well - it is the best pendant in the range because of the drop. On a fine chain the cat hangs below the collarbone and the crystal sits where it catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style the Hanging Cat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt needs vertical room, so hang it at the centre or the very end of a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jewelhub.co.uk\/collections\/fortunalink-foundation\"\u003eFortunaLink™\u003c\/a\u003e bracelet and keep its neighbours short - anything tall beside it will tangle the line.
