Part of a set — worn together
The Familiar · The cat that keeps the house.
A temple cat, sitting the way they sat for three thousand years. Lotus stems rise up its chest, a collar at the throat, two suns at its hips, and a pair of orange eyes that catch the light. Cut flat and dark, like a tile lifted from a tomb wall.
The house cat of the register. Solid 925 sterling silver, hand-oxidized, chain included, made to order.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- Every stone is lab-created and named. No mystery stones, no natural-stone pricing games.
- No plated base metal. Solid sterling all the way through — not silver-coloured brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The dark is an oxidized patina, not a coating — only microns thick. Worn every day it wears brighter along the raised edges while the recesses stay black. That is how oxidized silver ages, and it is not a fault.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by September 23 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
Wearing it
Mau lies flat and light against the chest, so it wears under a shirt as easily as over one. The orange eyes are the only colour, and they read from a distance. Wear it on a mid-length chain, alone, and let the cat sit where it can be seen.
