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 small antler measures roughly 14cm long and approximately 3cm wide and has been very simply enhanced by the addition of a hammered, sterling silver karma ring and hangs from a wrapped suede cord measuring 34cm; a total drop of 46cm; 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.
