A little more detail…

Leaping hare ring. I have transformed a 100-year-old-coin into a magickal ring which can be a life-long present. A contemporary take on the traditional hare and moon motif, this ring is completely green, eco-conscious and eco-friendly from all perspectives.

Swiftness and Agility: The hare’s iconic leaps and incredible speed naturally evoke swiftness, agility, and quick thinking. The swift movements you see them make reflects the unpredictable nature of life and the need to adapt quickly to evolving circumstances.

Fleeting Moments: The hare’s rapid movement highlights the ephemeral nature of beauty, joy, or life itself. Despite its speed, the hare is a prey animal, highlighting its vulnerability while also embodying resilience and the ability to outwit predators.

The Pursuit of Freedom & Triumph of the Spirit Leaping away from danger can symbolize the constant struggle for freedom, both literal and spiritual. The hare’s continued existence despite threats speaks to an indomitable spirit and the ability to persevere in the face of adversity.

Fertility and Rebirth: Hares are renowned for their fecundity, associating them with themes of fertility, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life. The leaping hare can mark a departure from the old and a hopeful embrace of what’s to come, aligning with the renewal of spring and the potential for fresh starts. The hare’s strong connection to life and reproduction can represent the powerful creative forces at play in nature and in human experience.

Trickster Archetype: In various cultures, the hare plays the role of a clever and mischievous trickster, often outsmarting larger, more powerful creatures. Its tricks represent immense resourcefulness, intelligence, and the ability to navigate challenges through wit and adaptability.

Challenging Authority: The trickster hare often defies expectations and social norms, hinting at the need to question authority and find unconventional solutions.

The Otherworld and Mystery: Hares are often seen as connected to the moon, magic, and the unseen realms in folklore. The Hare’s elusive nature and associations with ancient beliefs can lend a poetic sense of mystery, magic, and the spiritual to the image.

Magical leaping hare, dancing in the moonlight, captured and celebrated in a beautifully simple design.  The leaping hare ring is directly hand cut from a slightly flattened silver coin which is hand wrought into the shape and length i require. I then meticulously hand cut the scene from a silver sixpence with a traditional jewellers hand saw. It is these tools which allow me a close connection with each piece and to ensure your ring will be completely original and special to wear. I am offering to create these with a silver sixpence moon and stars or you can choose bronze stars for contrast, but i’m insisting on a silver moonlight.

Presented with its donor with its donor coin, this piece is an ideal gift to a fellow nature-lover. This is a lovely piece of silver which connects your ring to its previous wondrous history.

Size : approx 5mm – 6mm width, perfect for everyday continuous wear.

If you like it but are considering it as a gift and aren’t 100% sure, why not check out the Facebook reactions to it? Alternatively go with your own instincts; it’s a special ring and I cherish the opportunity to make them. I also make a tiny wee recycled silver threepence leaping hare necklace pendant.
