Birmingham 1975! 9ct Yellow Gold Sitting Cat Charm

It’s rich in character and features finely engraved fur, alert ears, expressive eyes and a neatly curled tail, creating a lifelike and endearing design. It weighs 0.9 grams and measures 19.2mm in length (excluding the jump ring) by 11.8mm at its widest point. Despite its petite size, the detailed texturing and crisp modelling make it a striking addition to any charm bracelet or necklace.

The charm was hallmarked in Birmingham for 1975 and features the Makers Mark W.H.C for W. H. Collins & Co., a respected British jewellery manufacturer known for producing high-quality gold charms throughout the twentieth century. Vintage animal charms from this maker are increasingly collectible, particularly examples retaining their original hallmarks and fine detail.

Cats symbolise independence, curiosity, intuition and protection, making this charming pendant a thoughtful gift for cat enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates meaningful vintage jewellery. Whether worn as a sentimental keepsake or added to a growing charm collection, this beautifully crafted piece offers timeless appeal.

It is perfect for styling on a fine gold chain, charm bracelet or even an Albert chain, this vintage cat charm is a wonderful example of British craftsmanship from the mid-1970s.
