These terrific earrings are sterling silver cats, carved and etched in a way that makes them sparkle like crazy. The cats look totally arrogant with their tails swishing and their noses in the air! The earrings measure 1 3/4" from the top of the wire and are about 5/8" wide. They are on the original card, and are also marked "NF 925" on the back of the earrings. I have not been able to track down the designer associated with this mark.
