I came up with the idea this morning and with hours I had the thing made. I went from drawing it on paper, cutting out the body and head out of copper sheet (which I then worked and hammered), I welded the head and body to copper bands that I had previously prepared. I finished it all off with a copper wire tail (hammered and welded into place).
I love how the head fits over the body when you put the rings on.. This is probably the most whimsical piece I've ever done so far.
Whenever I think of cats, it's because of my daughter in law; she is a cat lover!!! I actually was thinking about her when I designed the rings.
Although I made these out of copper, I will also make a set in sterling silver and copper (the bands will be sterling and the cat will be in copper). I believe this will be awesome!!
Here is a picture of this whimsical project of mine. Get more info in my Etsy Shop.

Don't know how I missed this on my blog feed, Angelica :) I personally don't wear rings but find the idea of being able to separate the components is very appealing. Plus who doesn't love a cute kitty? Beautiful work!
Thanks Monique!!
