The Hare’s Secret
A fine silver hare, sculpted entirely by hand, sits at the center of this one-of-a-kind necklace. It hangs from a strand of carefully selected natural gemstone beads, connected with sterling silver components and accented with handmade silver star, sun, and moon charms. Every detail, from the carving of the hare to the slow and precise beadwork, reflects the time intensive and meditative process that shaped it.
Inspired by the tale of Masquerade by Kit Williams, created as a tribute to the legendary 1979 treasure hunt. The story follows a golden hare pendant hidden in a secret location, its resting place revealed through clues woven into the book’s illustrations. The search became a global fascination and came to symbolize curiosity, mystery, and the magic of a treasure waiting to be discovered. This necklace is meant to feel like uncovering a treasure of your own.
Part of the Wonder and Escapism of Childhood Dreams collection, this piece carries the natural irregularities and handmade character that recall ancient unearthed jewelry. It is an artwork as much as adornment and exists as a singular collector’s piece that will not be recreated.
This necklace is composed of delicate handmade parts and should be treated with care to ensure it lasts a lifetime and can be passed down as a collectible art jewelry piece. Its natural irregularities are intentional, adding to its charm and reflecting its ancient-inspired character.
Care
To preserve its condition and ensure it lasts a lifetime, remove it gently and avoid pulling or putting pressure on its components. When unworn, always keep it stored in its box and pouch to protect it. Avoid salt water, chlorinated water, perfumes, and other chemicals. Light tarnish can be polished with the cloth provided, and deeper tarnish may be cleaned with a gentle silver jewelry cleaning solution.
