Hey Diddle Cat & Fiddle Sterling Silver Charm | Nursery Rhyme Charms | Made in USA
"Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle" — generations of children have fallen asleep to those words, and the image of a feline sawing away at a violin remains one of the most joyfully absurd pictures in English nursery literature. This small silver charm captures that moment: a cat mid-performance, instrument in paw, cast in solid .925 sterling silver.

Measuring 3/8" x 5/8" and weighing 1.5 grams, this 3D lost-wax piece offers a more delicate scale than larger charms while still rendering the scene with genuine detail. The .925 alloy achieves its strength through a copper-based mix — no nickel — making it safe for sensitive skin. The modest weight makes it an excellent candidate for lightweight earrings when paired with sterling ear wires. Made in USA.
Charms like this one carry a particular emotional weight: the memory of a bedtime story read aloud, a voice doing silly sound effects, the comfort of words repeated until they felt like a small private language between parent and child. Attach it to a bracelet alongside other nursery rhyme or storybook pieces, or use it as a pendant on a delicate chain. A sterling silver jump ring is included and already attached.

This is one of twelve charms I purchased from this shop, and I love them all. This cat with the fiddle charm seemed to be on a bit smaller scale, but that doesn't matter to me. They are all beautiful! Great shop.
