Over the hills and far away……
Across the sleeping hills of the English countryside, a silver hare leaps among the grass.
In folklore the hare is a creature of twilight and moonlight, a messenger of magic, seen only in fleeting moments as it runs between worlds. Long associated with the moon, femininity, and intuition, the hare is often linked to the goddess Eostre, who symbolizes rebirth and renewal. A sacred and mystical animal to the Celts who saw them as a symbol of abundance, prosperity and good fortune, they were treated with great respect.
Entirely handmade in silver, with a crescent of gold glowing in the night sky, this piece carries the quiet mystery of ancient fields and moonlit paths, a talisman of wild places, moon magic, and the restless spirit of the hare. Constructed from meticulously hand pierced layers of sterling silver, every element is cut, textured and engraved by hand. Beneath the scene hang three silver and moonstone beaded drops, adding a lovely element of movement.
‘Over The Hills’ hangs from a paper clip style 18″ sterling silver chain which is detailed with silver and moonstone beads, and is finished with one of my handmade silver clasps.
The silver has been textured, oxidised, brushed and highlighted.
The silver has been darkened, or oxidised, to emphasise the texture and details. Oxidisation is a surface treatment that will lighten with wear. All oxidised areas are sealed with a layer of lacquer and waxed with a microcrystalline wax to help protect the oxidised surface.
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.
