While cat jewelry that is breed specific is our main focus, one of the things we do very much enjoy is making one-of-a-kind custom jewelry pieces, especially those that utilize our breed specific cat and CFA logo jewelry.  On this page, we share with you some of the items we have done.  If you would like to have us make something for you, please contact us.

The Amulet of Bast

Adapted from the description given by author Shirley Rousseau Murphey in her 1986 book "Catswold Portal," the Amulet of Bast was worn by the Queen of the Catswold people, a fictional race of feline/human shape shifters.  In our version, Bast, goddess of love and happiness, is on the right.  She is a happy cat, ears up, tail lifted.  Her alter ego, Sekmet, is a fierce warrior, with ears laid flat and tail tucked, standing on the left.  The sun is Ra, the Sun God, giver of life.  The emerald represents Mother Earth, which is being protected by the three deities.  Done in 14 karat yellow gold, the sun is set with 1.25 carats of fine white diamonds, while the Chatham emerald is a 1.75 carat pear shape. The pendant stands 2" high and is 2" wide, with a hidden bail.  A fantastic piece, originally created by the mind of a fantastic writer!  Thank you, Shirley, for your help with translating this piece into three dimensions, and for your friendship!

Persian Belt Buckle

Done for a gentleman from West Palm Beach, Florida, this stunning belt buckle is Sterling Silver, with a tooled background in a floral motif.   A yellow gold border trims the edges of the buckle.  In the center of the buckle is our full-body Persian, done in 14K yellow gold, with Swiss Blue Topaz eyes.   The overall buckle measures 2" high and 3.5" long.  A stunning piece that he wears with pride!

Treasured Tonkinese

This gorgeous Tonkinese pin was done for a lovely lady in Ft Lauderdale, who wanted to do something to commemorate her beloved cat.  A just over 3" high, this large kitty is done in 14K yellow gold.   It 's eyes are set with sparkling Aquamarines; it wears a collar of 1/2 carat of fine white diamonds, and plays with a 6 millimeter pearl "ball."  A beautiful way to preserve her beautiful memories!

A Stunning Opal

This stunning opal, with lots of blue and red fire, was brought to us by a friend and customer, who asked that we set it in a mounting that she could wear as a slide on her Omega necklace.  We wanted to make it look like it was entwined in a vine, so 14K gold wire was used for the vines and tendrils, with little gold leaves added.  A truly remarkable piece that she cherishes.

For Tabitha, who shows American Shorthairs, a beautiful bracelet of ASH faces, done every other one in silver and gold.  A lovely bracelet that she treasures.

How do you celebrate National, Regional and Breed wins, with two different breeds, all in one piece of jewelry?  Karen did it with our Winners Pin, topped with our Cornish Rex on one side and our Sphynx on the other. The Sphynx plays with a 2 carat diamond, and the whole piece is topped with our large Diamond CFA.  A large and lovely piece she loves.
