Maine Coon fashion Kitten Snowflake Ornament,Cat Christmas Ornament,Silver Cat Lover Ornament,Cat Collectible Ornament,Sterling Silver Cat Snowflake

This sterling silver Christmas ornament was inspired by love for Maine coon kittens and the beauty of a snowflake!

The cat snowflake ornament measures 2.6 inches (66 mm) long, 2 inches (51mm) wide, weighs 0.90 ounces (25.6 grams) and comes with a hand tied red satin ribbon for hanging on your tree.

This handmade cat ornament started with my cutting out a snowflake pattern on a sheet of styrene (plastic) with a jeweler's saw. I added one kind of wax to give the snowflake dimension. I sculpted in fine detail the 3-dimensional head of a Maine coon kitten with its long hairs in the ears in another type of wax.

The cat decoration 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 fashion alloy mandrel was evacuated creating a hollow sterling silver Christmas ornament. The opening was hand soldered closed with a sterling disc bearing my insignia and the word "sterling." This was oxidized and hand polished to bring out the full detail and luster of the sterling silver. All done in the USA!

The sterling silver ornament, also, comes wrapped in a protective tarnish resistant light green tissue paper and gold 2-piece gift box with free shipping in the USA!
