Moon gazing magical hare – Set of four earrings Recycled vintage fruit spoon

The mystical moon gazing hare of the moor is respected for its alertness, swiftness and resourcefulness. This lovely little set of four earrings to mix, match, wear and share have been delicately recycled from the bowl of an antique spoon.

The design is carefully hand drawn onto the spoon and then embellished with a traditional jewellers saw. Each pair is not only completely unique and original but also totally green and ethical. You are welcome to specify a finish, satin brushed matte finish (shown) or highly polished finish.

The earrings are presented with the actual ‘donor’ spoon from which they were made. This is ‘worked-upon’ and is transformed into a lovely little objet d’art which clearly demonstrates the green and ethical origins of the earrings whilst simultaneously connecting the wearer to their interesting one wondrous prior life!

Handmade and completely recycled in Cambridge, UK. Complete with the finest sterling silver earwires.

Size : Approx 25 mm * 13 mm

The hare often embodies fertility, rebirth, and transformation, drawing upon ancient associations with spring, the moon, and love. It can also represent intuition, vigilance, and adaptability, as well as themes of mortality and luck. The hare’s elusive nature and swiftness contribute to its symbolic complexity, often appearing in contexts of both danger and magic.

Fertility and Rebirth:The hare’s prolific breeding and connection to spring have long linked it to fertility and renewal. In some traditions, hares are associated with goddesses of love and fertility like Aphrodite and Venus. Their ability to seemingly give birth without impregnation (due to superfetation) also contributed to this symbolism.

Transformation and Change:Like the changing seasons, the hare’s seasonal shedding of its coat and its swift movements symbolize transformation and adaptability. It can represent a call to embrace change and navigate life’s complexities with agility.

Vigilance and Intuition:Hares are known for their alertness and keen senses, making them symbols of intuition and awareness. They can represent the need to be perceptive and responsive to one’s surroundings.

Trickster and Magic:In folklore, hares can be tricksters, embodying cleverness and cunning. They are also associated with magic and mystery, often appearing in tales of shapeshifting and divination.

Moon and Lunar Cycles:Hares are often linked to the moon, particularly in East Asian cultures where the moon goddess is depicted with a hare. This connection further emphasizes themes of cyclical change and renewal.

Ancient Greece and Rome: Associated with love, fertility, and sacrifice to gods of love.

China and Japan: Linked to the moon goddess and immortality.

Germanic traditions: Connected to the goddess Eostre, the inspiration for Easter.

Paganism: Represents fertility, rebirth, and transformation, with hares appearing in various rituals and myths

Christianity: Symbol of resurrection and new life, often associated with Easter.
