Officially Licensed CATS Jewellery Has Arrived — Celebrating 45 Years of an Iconic Musical

The curtain is up — our new officially licensed CATS jewellery collection has arrived.

Created in collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals and handmade in the UK, this new collection celebrates one of the most recognisable, record-breaking and beloved musicals of all time through wearable, collectable jewellery full of theatrical character.

Launching in time to celebrate the 45th anniversary of CATS, the collection is a tribute to the musical’s extraordinary legacy, its unforgettable characters and the fans who have kept the Jellicle magic alive for generations.

CATS first opened at the New London Theatre on 11 May 1981, bringing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation of T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats to the stage. More than four decades later, its world of mystery, movement, music and feline personality continues to capture imaginations across generations.

A Jewellery Collection Inspired by CATS

Our new CATS jewellery collection has been designed for fans who want to carry a little piece of the show with them.

From bold Rum Tum Tugger jewellery to nostalgic CATS 81 designs, each piece has been created with theatre lovers, collectors and gift-givers in mind. These are not simply accessories — they are keepsakes inspired by a musical that has become part of theatre history.

The collection includes:

• CATS Rum Tum Tugger Necklace in Silver Plate
• CATS Rum Tum Tugger Necklace in Gold Plate
• CATS Rum Tum Tugger Leather Necklace in Silver Plate
• CATS Rum Tum Tugger Leather Necklace in Gold Plate
• CATS 81 Number Plate Necklace in Silver Plate
• CATS 81 Number Plate Necklace in Gold Plate
• CATS Number Plate Keyring

Whether worn as everyday jewellery, styled for a theatre trip, gifted to a fellow fan or treasured as part of a musical theatre collection, each design has been made to feel wearable, meaningful and full of character.

Created in Collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals

As with all of our officially licensed collections, every detail matters.

This collection has been created in collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals, with designs, product details and launch materials carefully reviewed through the official approval process. From the use of the CATS name and character references to the final jewellery designs, the collection has been developed with care to ensure it feels true to the world of the musical.

For us, that official sign-off is an important part of what makes the collection special. It means fans can shop knowing these pieces are part of an officially licensed CATS jewellery collection, designed with respect for the show, its story and its legacy.

Why CATS Still Captures the Imagination

CATS is unlike anything else in musical theatre.

Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, first published in 1939, the musical brings together a cast of unforgettable feline characters, each with their own name, personality and story.

There is the theatricality of the Jellicle Ball, the mystery of the Jellicle Cats, the emotional pull of Memory, and the joy of characters who are strange, playful, dramatic and completely individual.

That is part of why CATS has remained so loved. It is a musical about identity, transformation, belonging and performance — wrapped in a world of poetry, movement and music.

Our jewellery collection takes inspiration from that spirit. It is designed to feel a little mysterious, a little nostalgic and full of personality.

Meet Rum Tum Tugger

One of the standout characters in the collection is Rum Tum Tugger — the rebellious, attention-loving Jellicle cat known for his confidence, swagger and refusal to do exactly what is expected.

The CATS Rum Tum Tugger necklaces feature an etched character portrait on the front, with CATS detailing and character reference on the reverse. Available in silver plate, gold plate and leather cord styles, these pieces are ideal for fans who love jewellery with a little attitude.

The leather cord designs have an easy, unisex feel, making them a brilliant choice for fans who prefer a more relaxed, character-led style. The chain necklaces feel a little more classic, perfect for layering or wearing as a subtle nod to the show.

For anyone searching for CATS musical gifts, CATS necklaces or unusual gifts for theatre lovers, Rum Tum Tugger is a playful, fan-led choice with real personality.

The CATS 81 Designs

The CATS 81 jewellery is a nostalgic nod to the musical’s original 1981 debut.

Designed in a number plate style, these pieces reference the year CATS first stepped into the spotlight. The result is a design that feels instantly recognisable to fans, while still being easy to wear every day.

The CATS 81 Number Plate Necklace is available in silver plate and gold plate, making it a strong gift option for musical theatre lovers who appreciate subtle, collectable details. The CATS Number Plate Keyring offers a practical alternative for fans who may not wear jewellery but still want a keepsake inspired by the show.

These designs are especially lovely for birthdays, theatre trips, opening night gifts, Mother’s Day, Christmas, or as a thoughtful surprise for someone who has loved CATS for years.

Handmade in the UK

Every piece in the collection is handmade in the UK, continuing Licensed To Charm’s focus on characterful, officially licensed pieces created with care.

The collection has been designed to feel collectable but wearable — something fans can enjoy as part of their everyday style, rather than keeping it tucked away. Each piece is made with attention to detail, from the etched character artwork to the finishes, chains, cords and keyring fittings.

It is jewellery for people who love stories. Jewellery for people who remember the first musical that stayed with them. Jewellery for fans who want something that feels personal, nostalgic and a little theatrical.
