These kitty cat earrings are about 2.25 inches long. The small origami kitty cats dangle from genuine 6mm Labradorite and 4mm Hematite and sterling silver earwires.

Each origami earring is my adaptation of a kitty cat origami in jewelry. The kitty cats are folded in 2 traditional origami papers and lacquered with epoxy. The origami kitty is about 1.25 inches in size.

Please be aware, each kitty is folded with a handmade Japanese paper/chiyogami/washi so there will be slight variations in the colors of the kitties. Origami is an ancient Japanese tradition of paper folding dating back to the Heian Period (A.D. 782-1185).

According to an old Japanese fable, cats are associated with "good fortune", miracles and compassion.

More meaning bout stones,

Labradorite is associated with spiritual guidance.

Hematite also known as Alaska's "diamond is actually an iron ore. It is associated with calming soothing qualities and has been thought to help relieve stress, lower blood pressure.
