Striking vintage Mexican wedding–style necklace featuring a procession of hand-cut cat charms interspersed with rounded metal beads that softly chime with movement. The necklace is paired with matching cat earrings, completing a cohesive and expressive folk art set.

Each cat figure is individually formed with engraved fur texture and expressive faces, giving the piece a lively, playful presence while retaining substantial weight and craftsmanship. The articulated construction allows the charms to move freely, creating both visual rhythm and a gentle ringing sound characteristic of traditional Mexican wedding and fiesta necklaces.

The metal has a warm, softly aged tone consistent with brass or alpaca (nickel silver), commonly used in mid–late 20th century Mexican artisan jewelry. This is not a lightweight novelty piece—its scale, sound, and construction place it firmly in the realm of collectible folk art jewelry.
