Lucky Cat

Maneki Neko jewelry collection: necklaces, bracelets, scented candles at Matiere47 store.

Maneki Neko, also known as the Lucky Cat, is a popular symbol of good luck, wealth and prosperity that has its roots in Japanese culture. The name is derived from two words: “neko” means cat, and ”maneku” – to entice, to invite. Maneki Neko thus means “inviting cat.”

The golden Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat) symbolizes wealth and success. It is considered a talisman that promotes growth in business, brings stability and helps increase turnover. It attracts customers and protects against rash decisions and false partners. The golden cat also guards financial luck, protecting its owner from jealousy and loss.

The Maneki Neko often holds a gold oval “koban” (Japanese: 小判) coin worth one million ryo in its right paw, symbolizing the attraction of wealth and financial protection.

At Matiere47, we created the Lucky Cat jewelry collection because we create symbolic accessories with a message. Take a look at our range, which includes bracelets, necklaces and a scented candle from this unique collection.
