Sacred Cat Stud Earrings

Bastet was worshipped for thousands of years. Black cats have been getting a bad rap from the superstitious ever since, and that's their loss.

This pair draws on the iconography of Bastet, Egyptian warrior goddess, protectress, deity of joy, sexuality and the moon. Black cats in ancient Egypt weren't omens, they were sacred. These antiqued pewter cat head studs carry that energy forward, each set with a small red Swarovski crystal on the forehead like a third eye or a blood moon. The kind of dark aesthetic detail that rewards people who look closely. For fans of gothic jewellery that pulls from mythology rather than Hot Topic, these sit somewhere between artifact and armour.

Antiqued pewter with red Swarovski ellipse crystals. Surgical steel ear posts for sensitive ears. Sold as a pair.
