Kitten on Pillow Christmas Ornament Sterling Silver, Cat Lover Gift, Silver Cat Christmas Ornament, Silver Cat Fine popular Collectible,Cat Figurine

popular My design for the sterling silver kitten on pillow Christmas ornament began with a photo of a very young kitten placed on a bed. This adorable kitten wearing a huge bow, sits on a pillow playing with a loose jingle bell and holly. Looking back at you, she makes you smile and say, "Awe!"

The sitting kitten measures 1.7 inches high (43mm), weighs one ounce and comes hand tied with a red satin ribbon for hanging on your tree.

The process of making this silver ornament, started with my hand sculpting this highly detailed unique kitten figurine in modeling wax. Then the wax model was hand molded to get a high-temperature epoxy likeness. From this another rubber mold was created. Hand cast fusible alloy mandrel has been silver deposited in the process called electroforming. The fusible alloy mandrel was evacuated creating a hollow sterling silver Christmas ornament. A sterling disc bearing my insignia and the word "sterling" is hand soldered on. This is then oxidized and hand polished to bring out the full detail and luster of the sterling silver. All done in the USA.

The silver cat ornament comes in a tarnish resistant light green tissue paper and gold 2-piece gift box with additional colorful tissue paper for packing

This handmade cat figurine will make a perfect cat lover's gift and/or fine cat collectable.
