FAQ's
Materials & Quality
What materials are your earrings made of? All Electric Cat earrings are laser-cut from high-quality acrylic and hand-assembled in our Pittsburgh studio. We use a variety of finishes including glitter, mirror, iridescent, glow-in-the-dark, and solid colors.
Are your earrings hypoallergenic? Yes! All our earrings feature hypoallergenic stainless steel posts and hooks, making them safe for sensitive ears. We specifically chose stainless steel because it's nickel-free and won't irritate your skin.
Are the earrings heavy? Not at all! Acrylic is incredibly lightweight, so even our largest statement pieces are comfortable for all-day wear. You'll forget you're wearing them (until someone compliments you).
How do I care for my acrylic jewelry? Acrylic can scratch if mishandled, so store your pieces separately or in a soft pouch. Clean with a microfiber cloth. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals. Keep away from extreme heat.
Do your earrings glow in the dark / under blacklight? Some do! We offer glow-in-the-dark and UV-reactive neon options. Check the product description — if it glows, we'll tell you.
Ordering & Customization
My ears are stretched, can you make me earrings with a closed hook? Yes, absolutely! Send me a dm on instagram @electriccat.ninja or e-mail me at electriccatshop@gmail.com and we'll figure out an option for you.
I don't have pierced ears, can you make me clip ons? At the moment, we don't offer clip-ons, as we haven't found the right earring findings that meet our quality standards. However, if you have a specific type of clip-on finding you love, feel free to send us a picture! If it's something we can order, we'd be happy to create a custom pair just for you.
Do you do custom pieces? Hell yeah! My custom earrings or necklaces start at $60 and require a deposit of half up front and half when the piece finished. It may cost more depending on the time it takes to make your design and the cost of materials. I start working on the design once the deposit was made and run the drawing by you before I cut it out so if you want to make any changes we can. It takes approximately 2 weeks for the project to complete depending on my workload.
I got an e-mail that my custom piece is finished, but I'm short on cash 'till Friday. No worries, your stuff will be mailed out whenever the second payment is made. If you need another week or two it's no problem, just let me know. I also have Shop Pay on my website, so if you'd like to make payment through them, I can make a custom product listing.

Shipping & Delivery
How long does it take for my order to get processed? I try to get them out asap, but if I have a lot of orders to pack it'll be 3-5 business days. However it rarely takes that long.
Do you ship internationally? Yes! We happily ship worldwide. However, please note that import duties, taxes, and tariffs may apply depending on your country's regulations. These fees are the responsibility of the customer.
If a package is returned to us due to unpaid duties or failure to pick it up, we are not responsible for the return. If you'd like the package re-shipped, please contact us—a new shipping payment will be required. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds for unclaimed packages.
My order has been shipped out, but it's taking a long time to get to me. Due to Covid-19 and shortage of workers, packages may take up to 2-3 weeks to get to you, especially during holiday times. So please plan accordingly if you need to get it right away. You can also select expedited shipping or UPS. If it's been over 3 weeks and you still haven't gotten it, contact me on instagram @electriccat.ninja or e-mail me at electriccatshop@gmail.com and we'll figure something out for you.
Payment & Support
I really want something from this drop, but I can't afford it till later, will it still be there? I can't guarantee that it will still be there or that it will come back in the future, but you can use Shop Pay at checkout to pay it off in installments.
What is Shop Pay? You can read up more on it here.
