This one of a kind beauty is a little showstopper treat! All solid handcrafted and hand pressed designs in sterling silver and set with sides of two rose cut rainbow moonstones. The hare jumping over the moon adds such a sweet nostalgic touch to design, feels straight out of a Childrens book. Im not certain of the original impressions origins but I would guess that it is vintage and at least 50 years old or much more.
In most collections at least for the ones I like to create, there will be those central pieces that you pour your heart and soul into creating and the rest develops around them from there. This Moonstone necklace with its sweet hare and the moon design along with the gemstone rings, I would consider to be the back bones or heart to this collection. I love a good celestial theme year round but with the winter months, those longer night skies and icy blues, they just pair so well for a glittering solstice treat!
Hare and star impressions are both hand pressed using vintage/antique impression dies, using a bottle jack and steel frame to press my metal into forms. Hare impression with a twisted wire framing measures right over 1" wide and 7/8" tall. Stars on sides are situated with irregular oval shaped rose cut rainbow moonstones for an added whimsical touch, measuring 3/4" by 1/2" in size approx.
I've attached this design using a paperclip style chain, which suits this piece perfectly. With chain, stones and hare image, total length is 20.5". You can easily adjust this shorter by attaching bolt clasp further onto the chain.
All handcrafted in my personal home studio and made with love and good intentions!
