Beautifully modelled, this delightful little cat perches mischievously on the rim of his ribbed dustbin, his curved tail wrapping gently around the side. The detailing is charmingly expressive from his rounded ears to the soft curve of his back; giving the piece that unmistakable mid-century novelty feel collectors adore.

There’s something so playful about this design. A tiny golden mischief-maker caught in the act… a nod to resourcefulness, humour, and the idea that one person’s trash is another’s treasure! Pieces like this were especially loved in the 1950s–70s, when whimsical animal charms became treasured additions to story-filled bracelets.

This is the kind of charm that sparks conversation. Perfect for a fine jewellerycollector that appreciates cats and sweet things. 

Sweet, nostalgic, and full of character. A tiny 9ct gold treasure ready to join your story.

  • Is this item real Gold?

    All my jewellery is real Gold. I sell mainly 9ct Gold; but also 14ct, 18ct and even 22ct!

    • GOLD: It is a precious metal that is found in a solid and pure state both in the earth's crust and in the seabed and riverbeds. It has been the most widely used metal since ancient times, especially in crafts, for more than 5,000 years.
