Cat hoop earrings, gold tone
A pair of hoop earrings shaped as a seated cat, tail curled up the side and a single clear stone set at the belly. The cat hangs from a slim hinged hoop, worn on the ear like any other pair. Made in 316L stainless steel with a gold tone electroplated finish.
Overview
About this cat hoop earrings
These are earrings for people, not anything for a pet. Each earring is a seated cat with its tail curled up the side, a small bow at the neck and a single clear stone set at the belly; the cat hangs from a slim hinged hoop worn on the ear. It is one design, quoted as a single line.
The cats and hoops are surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the grade specified for surgical implants, so the pair does not tarnish and is hypoallergenic for everyday wear. The stone is listed as a clear stone, not a named stone and not a natural stone. The gold is a gold tone electroplated finish over the steel, with the plating thickness quoted per micron. The image that also shows a dog is a styling shot only; the earrings are not pet jewellery.

316L
The grade, in plain terms
Every design on this page is made in 316L stainless steel — the molybdenum-bearing austenitic grade, and the same grade specified for surgical implants and marine fittings. The “L” is low carbon, which is what keeps chain links and hollow forms sound at the joins.
Grades are worth stating rather than implying, because 316L, 304 and 201 look identical in a photograph and differ by real money per tonne. We name the grade on every design. If your market needs documentation with the goods, tell us and we will confirm what is available on this design before you order.
| Property | 316L stainless steel |
|---|---|
| Designation | 316L (AISI/ASTM) · SUS316L under JIS · 1.4404 under EN |
| Composition | Chromium 16–18%, nickel 10–14%, molybdenum 2–3%, carbon 0.03% max |
| Why 316L and not 304 or 201 | Molybdenum is what resists chlorides, and neither of the cheaper grades contains any |
| Tarnish and rust | Does not tarnish, and does not rust from everyday wear, sweat or water |
| Skin | Hypoallergenic for most wearers, and not nickel-free — it contains 10–14% nickel by specification |
| Specified for | Surgical implants (ASTM F138) and marine fittings, which is where the “surgical” and “marine grade” labels come from |

FAQ
Questions about this cat hoop earrings
Is this a pet accessory?
No. It is a pair of earrings for people. The cat is worn on the ear, hanging from a hinged hoop; it is not a collar, a tag or anything made for an animal.
What is the stone?
It is a single clear stone set at the belly — not a named stone and not a natural stone. Tell us what your market requires and we confirm the size and setting when we quote.
What grade of steel is it, and is it hypoallergenic?
The cats and hoops are surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the grade specified for surgical implants. It is hypoallergenic for most wearers and does not react with skin; the nickel it contains, around 10-14%, is tightly bound in the alloy. A magnet is only a rough check, since 316L is largely non-magnetic.
Can the hoop and backing match my range?
Tell us the hoop and the backing you already use and we will match them. See the private label page for hardware options.
Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?
We are a China-based B2B fashion jewellery supplier with our own design, sourcing and quality-control team, and we do not own a factory. The benches your order runs on belong to partner production lines in Guangdong that we work with directly and visit during your production. We publish no factory address, floor area, headcount or founding year, because those numbers describe a plant rather than the service you are buying. Ask any supplier this question, and check whether the answer matches the paperwork you get.
