When people think of finding gifts for cat lovers, they usually end up with a funny mug or even a glass of wine. Find something a little more unique and personal with cat earrings. Not just a few little studs, which don’t really require thinking, but something a little more adventurous!
A popular option is a pair of gold or silver studs in the shape of a cat or kitten. These can be sterling silver or 14, 18 or 21 karat gold or, for a more economical option, a coating can be added to a stainless steel surgical base. In some cases, an acrylic can be used and then powder coated in a silver or gold color. While this is the cheapest option, it can still produce a good result for a lower price when looking for gifts for cat lovers.
When considering options, it is important to consider the quality of the stud attachment to the post. There should be no gaps and the adhesive should not get too dirty on the back of the earring. If there is any movement between the post and the main earring design, look for a stronger pair or change the price or brands.
If the item is for a gift, please check that the item is in a box. If not, and many online stores now ship well-protected items but only in plastic, you may need to purchase a gift display box. This lowers the price of the earring up front, but check before you buy to see what you’re getting.
For a unique option, there are some studs that, when worn, look like cats or kittens handing over the wearer’s ear. The cat’s head part is a traditional type of stud, but instead of a flush back on the reverse of the earlobe, a cat’s body is attached. This creates a three-dimensional look with the cat hanging from the ear. It gives a dramatic effect and for those people who have not seen them, it can bring the wow factor. Or in this case the meow factor!
This type of option is not practical to leave them overnight as they are quite bulky, but they are completely comfortable to use during the day or when the user is away from home. There are also matching rings that you can buy that give the same effect. If you are looking for a higher price, you can buy them and create them in a set to give as a beautiful gift.
