What happens when you blend the misfit of the streets with the creature of the night? Meet the Rat Bat Necklace, where two of nature’s most misunderstood beings unite in perfect rebellion. The charm is 3-D, with the details carved on both sides so that no matter which way she is tossed, you will show her good side.  Throughout history, hybrid creatures have been symbols of power, mystery, and defiance—existing beyond the rules of nature. The combination of a rat and a bat? It’s a natural fit. Both are survivors, thriving in places most wouldn’t dare go. Rats, with their sharp minds and adaptability, crawl through the shadows, while bats soar above, navigating the darkness with grace. Both embody what it means to survive and thrive in the shadows- cunning, fierce, and darkly radiant.  Dimensions:The charm measures 20mm long (3/4's of an inch) and 10mm at its widest. The chain is 1mm wide and measures 18 inches long. Materials:Sterling Silver: Charm, necklace, and all findings are sterling silver.Gold Plate: Sterling silver everything then plated in 14K gold. The base metals I use (Silver Tone and Gold Tone) are both 100% brass. White brass is a metallic alloy that is made of copper and zinc. There is no nickel in any of our jewelry.
