Moon & Star gazing hares

Moon Gazing Hare earrings – Recycled sterling silver shilling coins

These lovely moon and star gazing hare earrings have been recycled from two English sterling silver shillings. These coins are unwanted by coin collectors due to wear marks from being used to buy and sell over one hundred years ago.

Rather than let them simply be melted down for the silver content I absolutely love coming up with designs and ideas to transform them into something desirable. By doing this the historical details are retained, simultaneously adding depth, interest and intrigue to the design.

The hares have been individually hand cut from the silver shillings with a traditional jewellers saw.  Each pair is completely unique, contemporary, ethical and beautiful. They are presented complete with a sterling silver ‘off-cut’ which beautifully demonstrate the origins of the hares and connect them to their interesting, recycled material history.

  1. Raachel –

    Excellent quality and design.

    I bought these earrings to match the necklace I bought last month. As always, fantastic quality and beautiful design.

    Storybook earrings

    I am delighted with my recent purchase of a pair of these moon and star gazing hare earrings. In fact I am over the moon with them! They are charming,playful and full of character like a picture in a storybook .Although for me,they were a considered purchase ,the fact that I have worn them almost every day since I got them ,shows that if you invest in jewellery you love and which had meaning to you,that is real value.

  3. Wendy Cox (verified owner) –

    Stunning earrings. I hesitated as they are not a cheap purchase for me , but the workmanship and quality makes them worth every penny. I will be saving for a further purchase for a friends special birthday next year .
    Also beautiful packaging and prompt response to an email I sent to artist
