Material

We believe that a powerful good luck charm should be crafted from a pure and enduring material. This entire pendant is cast from 100% solid .925 sterling silver, with no hollow parts or shortcuts. This commitment to high-grade silver gives the pendant its brilliant polish, its satisfying weight, and the strength to serve as your personal talisman for years to come. The use of oxidized accents within the deep carvings gives the piece a stunning, three-dimensional character.

The Story Behind the Craftsmanship

To capture the cheerful and iconic spirit of the Maneki Neko, every detail must be perfect. Our master silversmiths start with a solid piece of sterling silver and patiently hand-carve every feature—from the cat's friendly face and raised paw to the intricate patterns on its collar. The piece is then carefully polished and oxidized to bring out all the charming details. This is not mass production; this is a small piece of wearable art, forged with a deep respect for Japanese culture and a wish for good fortune.
