The blooms are waxy and firm, with a porcelain-like surface that catches light the way glazed pottery does, which is why hoyas are sometimes called wax plants or porcelain flowers.

It unfolds across three tiny glass domed scenes set into a sterling silver cuff, each one a perfect little moment frozen in silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the left, a cat walks with that particular feline confidence, tail high, clearly heading somewhere with great intention and absolutely no remorse about whatever comes next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the center, the cat has arrived. It sits perfectly still in front of a potted houseplant, staring at it with an expression of pure contemplation. Behind them on the wall, a tiny bookshelf holds a row of even tinier books. This is a cat in a home full of lovely things. This is a cat deciding which lovely thing to interfere with first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the right, the innocent houseplant sits on its little table, completely unaware that it has already been chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have ever owned a cat and a houseplant at the same time you have lived this story. Probably more than once. Probably just this morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Bracelet\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the three scenes is hand drawn and cut from sterling silver, arranged inside its own glass domed setting so every tiny detail is protected and visible from every angle. The center scene is larger with a beautiful beaded sterling silver border framing it like the most mischievous little portrait you have ever worn. The two smaller domes sit on either side, connected by a smooth sterling silver cuff band that curves elegantly around the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this bracelet was made entirely by hand from scratch. Nothing was cast.

It can be gently adjusted to fit you perfectly on first wearing. Sterling silver should not be opened and closed repeatedly as this makes the metal brittle over time, so once fitted please take it on and off without bending it further. If you are new to cuff bracelets I am more than happy to show you in a video how I wear mine.

You have lived this moment. You turn your back for thirty seconds and suddenly there is a cat on top of the cabinet, one paw already deep in the fiddle leaf fig, wearing an expression of complete innocence. And somewhere below, a second cat is making their way across the floor with entirely too much purpose and not nearly enough trustworthiness in their eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe snake plant is bracing itself. The alocasia is hoping to be overlooked. The fiddle leaf fig has already accepted its fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is that moment, captured forever in sterling silver under a glass dome, so that you can wear it on your chest and know that someone out there truly understands your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTwo Ways to Wear It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI designed this piece to be as versatile as the cats inside it. It is both a brooch and a necklace and switching between the two takes just a moment depending on your mood that day. The pin and backing are made from sterling silver. When you want to wear it as a necklace simply leave the cap on the pin and slip it onto a chain. When you want to wear it as a brooch take it off the chain and pin it wherever feels right. Your piece will come to you on an 18 inch sterling silver rope chain so you are ready to wear it either way from the very first day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Craftsmanship\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery single detail inside this piece was hand drawn and cut out of sterling silver individually, two cats, a fiddle leaf fig, a snake plant, a cabinet, and the tiniest little alocasia sitting in a table you will ever see in your life. Each element was formed from scratch and then arranged into this tiny chaotic scene before a glass dome was set above it all to keep everyone safely tucked inside. The beaded sterling silver border frames the whole scene like the most mischievous little portrait ever seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAbout 1.25 inches across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e18 inch sterling silver rope chain included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBrooch or necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSterling silver throughout with glass dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOne of a Kind\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is only one of this piece in the world.
