‘The Badger in the spinney is the true king of this land.
All creatures are his tenants, though not all understand.
Didicoi red and roe-deer, gypsy foxes, romany otters-
They squabble about their boundaries, but all of them are squatters.
Even the grandest farm-house, what is it but a camp
In the land where the singing Badger walks the woods with his hooded lamp?
A farmer’s but a blowing seed with a flower of crops and herds.
His tractors and his combines are as airy as his words.
But the Badger’s fort was dug when the whole land was one oak.
His face is his ancient coat of arms, and he wears the same grey cloak
As if time had not passed at all, as if there were no such thing,
As if there were only the one night-kingdom and its Badger King.’ 
                                                                               Ted Hughes

As he shuffles along beneath a solar eclipse, with his ancient landscape of standing stones, Ancient Brock reflects the historic importance of our iconic native badgers, an integral part of our national heritage.
No casting or mass production is involved in his creation – he is constructed from meticulously hand cut layers of silver with great care and attention to detail.
His night sky is deeply textured and detailed with a tiny silver crescent moon.
He hangs from a silver and solid 9 carat gold solar eclipse, which hangs from a substantial, approximately 20″ long,  oxidised sterling silver chain finished with one of my hand made clasps.
The piece has been oxidised and highlighted.  Oxidisation is a surface treatment that will lighten with wear. I give all oxidised pieces a coat of sealing lacquer and microcrystalline wax to help protect the oxidised surface.
Your badger will come gift boxed – perfect for giving.
As with all of my pieces, each and every jump ring is soldered closed to prevent any piece of the pendant coming apart or getting lost.

This piece carries a full set of UK hallmarks and my maker’s mark as issued by Goldsmiths of London – this is your guarantee of quality and silver purity.

Material – sustainably sourced, recycled thick sterling silver and solid eco 9 carat gold
Size – approx 50 x 38 mm (including sun/moon eclipse)
Chain – approximately 20″ oxidised recycled sterling silver – if you would prefer a shorter chain please contact me .
