Kitten and yarn

“All you need is love and a cat.”Proudly display your love for your fur baby with the adorable Kitten and Yarn Ball charm! Each year the Pandora Autumn tends to be my favourite release and the Pandora Autumn 2021 Collection was no exception! Besides a selection of exciting new charm holders and pretty Disney Princesses, the 2021 Autumn Collection includes stunning nature inspired jewellery. New animal charms include the fun Cute Piggy Bank (799549C00), Polished Rubber Duck (799554C01) and my favourite, the Pandora Kitten and Yarn Ball Charm (799535C00). Dora Explores: Pandora Kitten & Yarn Ball CharmAs a cat mummy I was delighted when Pandora released a new cat charm. The Pandora Kitten and Yarn Ball Charm (799535C00) is not just a typical cat charm but features a little cat holding a ball of wool. Oxidisation detail highlights the individual strings of wool as well as the kitty’s eyes, nose and whiskers. Hanging from the bottom of the Pandora Kitten and Yarn Ball Charm is a tiny silver disc, stamped with the word ‘ME♥︎W’. Other cute details include little embossed paws and grooved shapes that depict the cats fur pattern.More grooved markings can be seen on the back of the Pandora Kitten and Yarn Ball Charm and the cats stripey tail curls around his back, finishing in a fluffy tip.The normal Pandora hallmark for silver jewellery, ‘S925 ALE’ is engraved on the bottom of the Pandora Kitten and Yarn Ball Charm and the Pandora logo is stamped on the back of the disc. Initially I thought the Kitten and Yarn Ball charm was going to have a threaded core, but it actually has a smooth interior. This makes it quick and easy to thread onto bracelets but perhaps should not be the final charm on a bracelet to avoid it slipping off when opening the bracelet.The Marmalade CatThe smallest feline is a masterpiece.Leonardo da Vinci In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.Terry PratchettOne cat just leads to another.Ernest HemingwayMy first design with the Pandora Kitten and Yarn Ball Charm (799535C00) is a two tone design inspired by my first pet cat, set on the pretty Pandora Moments Heart Clasp Snake Chain Bracelet (580719).Warm rose gold tones interspersed on the bracelet illustrate my marmalade cats orange patterned fur.
