Adorable Sterling Rabbit Pendant and Chain!
Adorable, genuine .925 sterling silver rabbit necklace, handmade by a small jeweler in Florida. The pendant is 3 dimensional with a decent weight and is so cute and tiny, but not at all too small, and has a nice amount of detail for its size. It is very clear it is a rabbit when worn..the chain is very nice with a sturdy clasp, 18", and while it is delicate-appearing and dainty, I suspect the type of link with add to sturdiness and should not link. The necklace doesn't seem to be adjustable to a shorter length. The rabbit pendant could be removed and used with other chains, or perhaps even a bracelet, unless the chain has very large clasps, as the bail on the pendant is a good size.  I like that the pendant is 3 dimensional like a very tiny rabbit statue so that it doesn't matter which side faces out. I also like that it has a little bit of oxidization patina along places such as the crease of his rear leg and inside his ear to bring out the details. Because of this I'm likely to use a cloth to clean it instead of immersing it in a silver cleaner.<br /><br /> I'm so pleased with this necklace, especially at this price, that I plan to browse the rest of this jewelers offerings. I highly recomend this necklace.<br /><br />The details of the packaging etc are as follows, for those who are interested:<br /><br />We received the item within the time frame, shipped by Amazon. (It came in an Amazon-branded bubble-mailer that was so large and such a waste. I don't like that Amazon uses these as they are not simple to recycle, but this is not the fault of the jeweler.  I am saving mine up to take to one of their pick up spots to try to recycle them there.) The inner contents were all inside of a small, appropriately-sized plastic bag that is reusable, recyclable, and protects the contents from moisture damage.<br /><br />The necklace was in an almost-black, very dark blue-ish unmarked gift box. A sparkly piece of ribbon was tied in a bow around the box. It was a very pretty presentation and could be given as a gift with nothing further added, in my opinion.<br /><br />The jeweler's business card was attached. It contains a thank you for the purchase from their small business and requests a great review, provides an URL to access customer support as well as the direct link URL to their Amazon shop, and notes their jewelry is "handmade with love since 1988" in Brooksville, Florida.<br /><br /> The necklace inside of the box is on a small jewelry card so you can see exactly what it is when you first open the box. The card notes the jeweler's name and that the necklace is sterling silver. The back of the card notes that sterling silver may tarnish over time and suggests it not be exposed to harsh chemicals and that it is cleaned with sterling cleaner or a jewelry cloth.<br /><br />The chain on the back is inside of a very small plastic bag to protect it from tangling, and this all rests on a bit of the sort of cotton-type material commonly used in jewelry boxes.<br /><br /> That is every last detail. Again, I am delighted with this necklace and will be checking out the rest of this jeweler's items.
