Part of a set — worn together
The Familiar · The cat that keeps the house.
A familiar goes where you go. One ear takes a small ghost with a star at its shoulder; the other, a cat sitting in the curve of a crescent moon. Both carry a bezel-set lab-created opal and the same engraved scrollwork, so the pair reads as one thing worn two ways rather than two unrelated charms.
From the dark register — Duskgild's memento mori line. Solid 925 sterling silver, oxidized so the dark settles into the engraving and the raised silver stays bright. Hinged huggie hoops, polished. Sold as a mismatched pair — one ghost, one cat.

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
Huggies sit close to the lobe rather than hanging, so they wear under a hood and through a night shift without catching. The charms are small — roughly 15 mm from the hoop (photo estimate) — and because the pair is mismatched, it reads best with the hair back where both sides show.
