Hey Diddle Sterling Silver | Cat and the Fiddle Charm Sterling Silver | Made in USA

For collectors who value authenticity, this Hey Diddle Diddle charm is cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA.

Lost-wax casting uses centrifugal force — roughly 50 G's — to push molten silver into every fine detail of the mold. The result is sculptural 3D depth that stamping and machine pressing simply cannot achieve.

'Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon.' This absurdist nursery rhyme has delighted children since at least 1765 — and nobody has ever satisfactorily explained it. The 3D charm measures 3/4" x 1/2" and weighs 4.5 grams, depicting the fiddling cat in solid sterling silver.

These nursery rhyme charms carry memories — bedtime stories read aloud, songs sung off-key, the comfort of familiar words. The attached sterling silver jump ring makes it bracelet-ready, necklace-ready, or earring-ready with a pair of ear wires.
