Roe deer are one of only two species that can be considered indigenous to the British Isles, the other being the Red deer.

Deer antlers are one of the animal kingdom's most dramatic examples of male prowess and thus since ancient times have been held in great regard by humans. Casting of the stag's primary antlers marks the onset of an annual regenerative cycle that will continue throughout its life.

Deer antlers are finally formed as solid bone that is completely cast off and then grown again each year of the life span. Roe deer begin regrowing antlers almost immediately after they are shed and antlers are cast from late October to early January.

This large antler is part of a pair and measures roughly 20cm long and approximately 12cm wide. It has been very simply enhanced by the addition of a Pandora sterling silver ribbed clasp bead and hangs from a wrapped suede cord measuring 38cm; a total drop of 58cm, adjustable as you wish.

This pendant makes for a striking traditional statement piece when worn with classic knitwear or over a woollen or tweed jacket, but creates a more edgy contemporary look when juxtaposed with more contemporary pattern or sheer textiles.
