We know that cats have a long history stretching back to Ancient Egypt, but how does that translate to earrings?
Wearing a pair of cat earrings can symbolise many things. Combining the independence of the cat’s nature and the happy, playful design of the earrings, it paints a balanced picture, making this accessory suitable for each and every person.
They reflect a sense of personal freedom to express oneself and a funloving spirit - the perfect conversation starter.
If you want to explore a spookier route, you can choose black earrings with cats to signify superstition or witchcraft. Medieval folklore said that witches used black cats as their familiar.
Many cultures associate black cats with both good and bad omens, depending on the belief.
in Japan, black cats are said to ward off evil spirits. This is akin to Scotland, where it is believed that if a black cat arrives at your home, it’s a sign of prosperity and good luck. So, if you’re feeling a bit superstitious, perhaps it’s time you bought a pair of black cat earrings.
On the other hand, black cats have a reputation for bringing bad luck to your life, which stems from medieval times when animals with black fur, including ravens and crows, were an omen of death.
In America, if a black cat crosses your path, it means you’re in for some bad luck. Conversely, if a white cat were to do it, it would signify good luck.
Today, black cats are shaking off this negative association and are proving they are just as full of love and goodness as any other cat.
Definitely!
Even though they can be mature and elegant, cat earrings are perfect for kids. Glitter and fun design styles translate really well onto cat earrings as they are so versatile. Your child can choose a paw, an expressive cat face, or the whole body, whatever they prefer.
Cat earrings would be the perfect gift for a son or daughter, especially if they are a cat lover. If they are cat charm earrings, there is a slight risk of the charms falling off. It's best to order a small pair of stud earrings specially designed for kids with sensitive ears.
Practice safe use, such as removing them before bed and only using hypoallergenic materials like silver or gold.
If it’s a small, delicate cat hoop that uses accents instead of a bold statement, you can wear it with a casual everyday outfit consisting of a simple top and pants. Or dress them up in a formal dress and up-do.
With small hoops, you can add other jewellery to the outfit without it being overwhelming. Also, feel free to experiment with mixing golds and silvers to add texture. Try a cuff bracelet, for example, for just the right amount of accessory.
If you’ve fallen in love with a big pair of cat hoops, you can pair them with a range of outfits to create a statement piece. Try some solid colours to allow the hoop earrings to take centre stage, or try a quirky casual look with neutral pants like jeans or a dress with a halter neckline.
