DOWN THE BEJEWELLED BUNNY TRAIL WE WENT, AND CAME BACK WITH THIS EAR-RESISTIBLE SHOW OF LAPIN LUXURY. FROM 1880s FRANCE, AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION, IT HOPS IN 18K YELLOW GOLD WITH TWO AMETHYST EYES AND THE CUTEST SEVEN-PEARL STRAND COLLAR. YES, THIS IS THE UNISEX RABBIT PENDANT NECKLACE YOU'LL WANT TO SHARE WITH YOUR PARTNER OR GIFT TO SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL.

⎯⎯
WE LOVE THIS pendant necklace because a) the rabbit is an excellent example of period fauna jewellery yet is so viable to be worn today; b) it's so viable to be worn by collectors of all ages and genders; c) the twisted, triple chain is so perfect, even on its own.

STYLE: As seen in the Gallery, we're styling this gold rabbit pendant necklace on him and her, on full-glam eveningwear against statement bracelets just as on cotton button-down boys' shirts for daytime.

Our Price Analysis

A FAIR PRICE because, at £4,900, this late 19th-century rabbit pendant and chain necklace is highly attractive, combining substantial weight, fine materials, and exquisite design.

• MATERIAL VALUE: Weighing 25.6 grams of 18k yellow gold, the intrinsic gold content alone is worth approximately £1,200 at Autumn 2025 prices. This provides a strong base, enhanced by the addition of a multi pearl collar and amethyst eyes.
• DESIGN APPEAL: Animal jewels from the Victorian period are prized for their charm and character. This piece shows finely chased fur detailing, lively proportions, and imaginative use of pearls and gemstones. The pendant’s originality and playful motif set it apart from more traditional antique jewels.
• COMPARABLES: Antique animal pendants in gold with gem-set details are regularly seen in the £4,000–£7,000 range. Complete examples on their original chain, and in this weight category, are rarer and can command higher prices.
