What Does Cat Jewelry Symbolize?
The cat is not only a symbol of elegance and independence but also of curiosity and mischief. When shopping for cat jewelry, it's helpful to consider how you are connected to cats.

One-of-a-kind perfect for cat lovers, the queen of the jungle sports a diamond lion pin in white gold—all elegant vintage cats love attention. Wear a vintage Italian leopard dome ring in 18kt gold to show off your fierce and fun side. Purr-fect! Finally, what if you just love your cat more than life itself and want something cute to remind you of it? Personalized birthstone and name cat ring in 14kt gold are one-of-a-kind treasures—just like your cat.
What Is The History Of Cat Jewelry?
Ancient Egyptians revered cats as sacred animals. The first cat goddess in ancient Egypt was Mafdet, who killed snakes and protected the Pharaoh. Like domestic cats who bring their catches to their owners, Mafdet reportedly tore out the hearts of criminals and left them at the feet of the Pharaoh. Cat pendant necklaces were popular in Europe around the 1700s (though cat pendants were created in Egypt as early as 600 BC.) Somebody's got some cattitude!
