Handmade White Oak & Stainless Steel Stud Earrings – A Classic Wood with a Naturally Textured Grain

What Makes White Oak Special?
Used in everything from heirloom furniture to whiskey barrels, White Oak is valued for its strength and natural beauty. Its distinct grain texture and warm brown hues make it a perfect choice for those who appreciate classic, rustic, and organic materials.
Feline-Approved for Its Connection to Furniture
My cat studio managers were immediately suspicious of White Oak, assuming I had stolen it from their favorite nap-worthy furniture. After a thorough inspection (and some judgmental glares), they have decided to allow humans to enjoy it as well—though they still prefer the full-sized version for lounging purposes.
Beautifully Packaged & Gift-Ready
Each pair comes in a recyclable jewelry box with cotton fill, perfect for gifting. Multiple-item orders are packed up to three pairs per box—if you need individual gift boxes, just send us a message!

ChasedByCats
Meet the Maker
At Chased by Cats, we craft unique wooden jewelry that is as one-of-a-kind as a cat’s mood swings. No two pieces will ever be exactly alike—no matter how hard we try (and trust us, we’ve tried). This isn’t a flaw; it’s a feature. Perfection is overrated, and we’ve never been great at symmetry anyway. Each piece is painstakingly handcrafted with care, attention to detail, and the occasional interruption from a demanding meow.
Our jewelry is made from a variety of beautiful, natural and dyed woods, often incorporating reclaimed materials and unique inlays. Every piece tells its own story, shaped by the grain and textures of the wood itself. Whether it’s a rich exotic hardwood, a piece of history repurposed into something new, or a striking contrast of materials, we focus on creating jewelry that stands out. Wood is warm, lightweight, and full of character—just like the best kind of troublemaker (you know, the four-legged kind).
My home is ruled by six graciously merciful feline overlords, and I am but their humble human, here to serve their every whim. That said, for very good reasons, they are strictly banned from the workshop. Power tools and curious paws don’t mix—and let’s just say they have a deeply misguided idea of what a litter box should be.
"Ahem! Enough about you, hooman. This shop is about US! Now hurry up, it’s almost time for you to adore me.”
Yes, Your Majesty. A thousand apologies.
While they may not be directly involved in the creative process (for everyone’s safety), my feline overlords bring joy, chaos, and the occasional stray cat hair into every part of my life. They’re my ever-present, ever-judgmental audience, and their antics are a constant source of entertainment. Beyond my own crew, I also volunteer at a local cat sanctuary, supporting even more four-legged royalty in their quest for world domination, love and comfort.
Welcome to Chased by Cats! Every piece you find here is made with dedication, humor, and a little bit of cat magic (minus the wood shavings).
How it’s Made
Under feline direct supervision and glares of disapproval...and by direct, I mean through the walls from the couch, bed or various observation towers... this item will be handcrafted, one-at-a-time, using proprietary techniques developed over many years with only occasional swearing and many lost to the void under the workbench. Although the bosses understand what it feels like to want treats immediately, please keep in mind my items take hours to make by hand and require several days of encouragement and positive affirmations while they slowly dry. Wood needs to be cut, metal needs to be hand polished, finish needs to dry, and most importantly cats need to be loved on and fed and loved on some more.
