Hey Diddle Sterling Silver | Cat and the Fiddle Charm Sterling Silver | Made in USA
A cat sawing away at a fiddle — the central absurdity of "Hey Diddle Diddle" is given solid form in this 3D sterling silver charm. The fiddling cat measures 3/4" x 1/2" and weighs 4.5 grams of solid .925 silver, Made in USA through lost-wax casting that forces molten metal into every fine detail of the mold under roughly 50 G's of centrifugal force — producing sculptural depth that flat stamping cannot approach.

"Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle" has delighted children since at least 1765, and it remains one of the few nursery rhymes whose meaning has never been satisfactorily explained. That open-ended strangeness is part of its enduring appeal. The charm depicts the fiddling cat in the characterful posture that makes the rhyme so visually memorable.
Add it to a bracelet alongside the cow-over-moon charm from the same series for a complete Hey Diddle Diddle tableau, or wear it alone as a necklace pendant. It also pairs with ear wires for earrings. The attached sterling silver jump ring makes it immediately ready for any of these uses.
