For Cat Lovers: Mother’s Day Gifts from the Fur Babies

You do not have to have human children to be a mom. If you share your home with a cat or two (or more), you have fur babies that need love and attention just like children. Treat yourself to a Mother’s Day gift that shows off your love for cats.

Textured Yellow Gold Cat Pin from 1967 

This adorable pin is made of 14k yellow gold. The jewelry maker’s expertise is easy to recognize by the talented working of the gold. Due to added texture, the piece gives the illusion of fur that gives the jewel a lifelike appearance. A bow around the neck is a charming detail. For the eyes, the artisan chose two round sapphires with a combined weight of .05cts. From top to bottom, the pin measures 35.14mm. From side to side, the measurement is 35.47mm. Wear this pin with a shawl, blouse or sweater.

Double Cat Pin with Onyx and Rose Quartz from the 1950s 

Recognizing the artistry of the 1950s is easy. The setting material is 14k yellow gold. Two rose quartz cabochons represent the bodies. Two smaller oval, black onyx cabochons are the heads. Small rubies play the part of the eyes while white gold whiskers give the cat depictions a lifelike quality. From top to bottom, the pin measures 27.6mm. Its width is 21.63mm. This elegant pin is ideal for a night out, for your boardroom presentation or any other special occasion. That said, you do not have to wait for a special occasion to wear this pin.

Artistic Yellow Gold, Onyx, Turquoise, and Ruby Cat Pin from 1955 

This handmade cat pin starts with an 18k yellow gold setting. The body consists of a bright Persian turquoise. Two oval onyx cabochons hint at facial definitions while a round ruby, which weighs in at .10cts, represents the eye. We are confident that this is a handmade Felix rendition and therefore most likely unique. The pin measures 1 7/8 inches by 1 ¼ inches.
