GOLD PIGLET LOCKET

9 Carat Gold 

Affectionate, amusing, intelligent, and companionable.
This charming little piglet was influenced by the celebrated pigs in rural British folklore and literature. From Beatrix Potter's whimsical but precise watercolour illustrations of Pigling Bland, to Sir Edwin Landseer's observational farmyard drawings housed in the Royal Academy of Arts collection.

Piglet  started life as numerous sketches that were realised in wax by an award winning miniaturist sculptor, then cast using the ancient lost-wax technique.   Piglet is naturally modelled trotting along with an endearing worried expression.  Piglet is  finely detailed with with tiny cloven hooves, floppy ears, gently turned up snout and sweet little curly tail.

Drawing inspiration from the Georgian era’s fascination with animals and symbolism, the locket is designed to house treasured mementos, a loved ones hair, private love note or secret code.

The chain sits under the collar bone so is visible worn with a shirt or can be layered with longer pendants and chains. 

London Craft

Each micro engineered component is lost wax cast hand-polished and assembled by a single master craftsperson, then bicycled to Hatton Garden for hallmarking — all within a five-mile radius in London — reflecting Ferian’s commitment to local artistry of distinction and heritage craft.
