Find the inner hedgehog.
Hedgehog necklace pendant – handmade and recycled sterling silver coins
A wonderfully mysterious hedgehog gently scuttling towards your tree of life. She may represent you or the hedgehog in your life, either way she looks beautiful on a necklace by herself or with your other tree of life charms. When i’m lucky enough to cross paths with a hedgehog i often contemplate the similarities! especially when i’m having a bad hair day, which is everyday.
The hedgehog often represents gentle strength, self-protection, resourcefulness, and introspection. Its quills, while seemingly defensive, symbolize the ability to set healthy boundaries and protect one’s emotional well-being. Hedgehogs also embody resourcefulness and adaptability, encouraging individuals to tap into their inner resources and find comfort in simplicity. Their nocturnal nature can symbolize introspection and self-discovery.
Gentle Strength and Resilience:Hedgehogs demonstrate that true power can be found in quiet resilience, not just in overt displays of force.
Self-Protection and Boundaries:The hedgehog’s quills are a symbol of self-protection, encouraging the setting of healthy boundaries and the ability to safeguard one’s emotional well-being without aggression.
Resourcefulness and Adaptability:Hedgehogs are known for their ability to find food and create comfortable nests, symbolizing the ability to adapt and make the most of what is available.
Introspection and Self-Discovery:Their nocturnal nature is linked to introspection and exploring the hidden depths of the subconscious.
Guidance and Wisdom:In some folklore, hedgehogs act as animal guides, offering wisdom and guidance.
Rebirth and Renewal:In ancient Egypt, the hedgehog’s hibernation was associated with rebirth and reincarnation.
Protection in the Spiritual Realm:Hedgehogs are seen as symbols of protection, both physical and spiritual, reminding us to safeguard our well-being.
Overcoming Challenges:The hedgehog can also represent the journey of overcoming challenges and finding one’s true purpose.
“The Hedgehog and the Fox”:This concept, popularized by Isaiah Berlin, contrasts the hedgehog, who knows one big thing, with the fox, who knows many things. This can be applied to different approaches to knowledge and problem-solving.
You don’t need the tree sculpture to enjoy this hedgehog charm pendant, wear her as beautiful nature loving single pendant on a necklace, as part of a branch of leaves spanning a bigger design you have imagined on a necklace or bracelet, representing your own personal aesthetic or family and friends.
Each hedgehog, owl, acorn, leaf and charm is movable, allowing you to customise the jewellery you create and the sculpture you design.
Size : 18 mm * 18 mm
*** Other charms in the pictures such as stars, moons, oak leaves, acorns are to illustrate the various looks and combinations. They are available separately within the collection. ***

Find the Inner Hedgehog
I love my hedgehog charm. I used to have them frequently in my garden but now I hardly ever see one – they have long been one of my favourite animals. I am sure I have an inner hedgehog too as I do kind of hibernate during winter and for the most part quietly get on with things in the background. In addition it’s a nod to my Grandma Bennett who used to treat us with a shilling or half a crown if we were lucky when visiting her as a children.
Beautifully made and despatched with geat care it was a joy to open the package and find her there. Thank you

Adorable
I just received my necklace and I am thrilled, it is a work of art. I recently received a Pygmy hedgehog and she is so sweet. I wear this necklace in honor of her.

Great present.
Bought for someone who loves hedgehogs, love the detail and the fact it still shows signs of its previous life. Great if you love jewellery that is not mass produced.

A new friend
I just love my little hedgehog. The attention to detail on his cute little face is amazing, and I really feel he needs a “friend” of his own – the rabbit or squirrel (or both) will be next.
