Quick answer

The Bad Cat Ring, a collaboration with Bad Cats Club, donates £10 from each sale to The Brain Tumour Charity via the Lyam Kirkham Fund. It is a direct way to support brain tumour research while owning a unique sterling silver or 9-carat gold ring.

Why charity jewellery matters

Charity jewellery lets you combine a meaningful purchase with a personal cause. Unlike generic donations, the ring itself becomes a daily reminder of the support you've given. For the recipient, it can represent hope or solidarity during a difficult time.

The Bad Cat Ring is part of a growing trend where brands partner with charities to fund specific research or patient support. Here, every ring sold contributes to the Lyam Kirkham Fund for The Brain Tumour Charity, tackling a condition that affects thousands of families each year.

Choosing between silver and gold

The ring is available in sterling silver or 9-carat gold. Sterling silver offers an affordable entry point at USD 44.16 (compared to a regular price of USD 69.00), while gold is priced on application due to fluctuating bullion costs. If you prefer a hypoallergenic, durable metal that won't tarnish quickly, gold is a better long-term choice, but it requires an email enquiry for pricing.

For a meaningful gift on a budget, the silver version still makes the same £10 donation. The gold option is ideal if the recipient has sensitive skin or wants a heirloom-quality piece, but be prepared to contact the store directly for the current price.

Limitations to consider

The gold price is not listed because bullion prices change frequently. This means you cannot compare it instantly online. Also, the ring is a single silhouette design—if the recipient prefers a different cat pose or a more ornate style, this may not suit their taste.

The donation is fixed at £10 per ring regardless of the metal chosen. While this is transparent, it means the gold version's higher cost does not increase the charitable contribution. For some, this may reduce the perceived value of the gold purchase.

How to choose the right Bad Cat Ring for your purpose

  • Symptom: You want to buy a meaningful gift that also supports brain tumour research, but you are unsure which metal option fits your budget or the recipient's needs.
  • Likely cause: The gold price is not listed online, and the fixed £10 donation per ring may make the gold version feel less impactful for its higher cost.
  • Corrective action: Choose sterling silver if you want a set price (USD 44.16) and a known donation amount. Choose 9-carat gold if the recipient has metal allergies or you want a heirloom piece—email [email protected] for the current gold price. If the recipient's style is not a simple cat silhouette, consider another charity jewellery piece instead.
  • Stop or choose another option: If you need a guaranteed price without email follow-up, or if the recipient prefers a different animal or style, look for other charity jewellery collections that match their taste.
