Cat Lover Gifts – Cat Earrings

When people think of buying gifts for someone they know is a cat lover, they often come up with the same items. A fun cat mug or t-shirt, but there are plenty of other options available for cat lovers. One element that is often overlooked is cat earrings, which can be purchased to suit any style or budget.

Cat earrings have evolved over the years from the familiar basic studs to more dramatic styles. There are some lovely drop styles that come not just in gold or silver, but in many vivid colors to suit multiple personalities and clothing styles.

Very popular is the drop style, which can also incorporate flowers, symbols or artistic additions into the body of cats. This gives the user not just a simple article to advertise his passion for cats. It also provides another outlet for personality expression by combining another area of ​​interest along with a passion for cats.

It is important to consider the size of the person’s earlobe when deciding on styles. If the person has a small earlobe or if it is for a child, the weight of the earring can be a problem. While many metals are lightweight, more expensive items in sterling silver can become heavy if a larger style is selected.

To combat the weight problem associated with larger styles, hollow metal or another non-metallic substance such as lightweight acrylic is often used. While some people may feel that plastic is a cheap alternative to metal, there are constantly occurring advances in manufacturing that can produce a high-quality product without the plastic or the cheap feel.

One advantage of acrylic is that it is lightweight, but it also doesn’t have the feel of cheap plastic and can be printed in a multitude of colors. This can suit many different fashion styles and can even be worn on more expensive occasions. It also won’t fade or chip easily, making it a versatile and long-lasting option.

In addition to the weight of the main body of the cat earring, it is important to consider the metal used on the post or ear hook. Some people may be allergic to some metals and have an allergic reaction. Many cat earrings have posts or hooks that are made from surgical steel to minimize allergic reactions and improve wearability.

Also, due to the nature of a drop style, the links used in the cat earring must line up and contain no gaps. Gaps can open up over time and there is a risk that the cat earring will fall off the post. A higher quality item should have strong connection points between each part of the cat earring.

Checking these little details before purchase will ensure a higher quality and durable cat earring that will give the wearer many opportunities to enjoy their feline or for many years to come.
