DESCRIPTION

Elusive and mysterious, the Leveret is a symbol of eroticism, desire and enchantment.

9 Carat Gold

The hare appears in ancient Roman pottery as a symbol of love, vitality and desire, retaining its magical presence in folklore. This Leveret, a baby hare, begins as a hand-drawn sketch, realised in wax by a Royal College of Art trained miniaturist sculptor, then cast in 9 carat gold using the ancient lost-wax technique. Naturally modelled in a crouching pose, it features finely detailed paw pads, a broad nose and long ears, one raised in alert.

Drawing on Georgian traditions of animal symbolism, the Leveret opens to reveal a hidden chamber for a treasured keepsake, a lock of hair or a private love note.

LONDON CRAFT

Leveret begins with drawings by Ferian’s designer and founder, brought to life in wax by a Royal College of Art-trained miniaturist sculptor. Each precision-engineered micro component is then lost-wax cast in 9 carat gold, hand-polished and assembled by a single master craftsperson.

The finished piece is taken by bicycle to the London Assay Office in Hatton Garden for hallmarking, continuing a tradition of independently testing and marking precious metals that stretches back more than 700 years. From the first drawing to the final hallmark, every stage takes place within a five-mile radius in London, reflecting Ferian’s commitment to local craftsmanship and enduring British making traditions.

The Leveret sits just below the collarbone, visible when worn with an open shirt or beautifully layered with longer pendants and favourite chains.
