Stitched Bunny Head Charm - Gold Steel with Pink Enamel - 12.5x16.5mm

Stitched Bunny Head Charm - Long Ears and a Pink Lining

The rabbit to our bear. A domed bunny face in polished gold-tone stainless steel, 12.5mm wide by 16.5mm tall and 4.4mm deep at 3.4g, with two long ears rising above the head and a neat little muzzle below. The ears carry a soft pink enamel lining down their centres, the eyes are set in black enamel, and a fine engraved nose and mouth complete the face.

That pink is the whole trick. On a charm made entirely of gold the eye has nothing to fix on; two narrow strips of colour in the ears give it a focal point and, more importantly, make the piece read instantly as a rabbit rather than a generic animal head. The same run of engraved stitch marks that edges our bear head runs around this one too - short dashes cut into the metal like the seam of a sewn toy. It belongs to the same little family and works beautifully beside it on a JewelBuild™ stack.

FAQs

1. Will the pink enamel fade?
No. Enamel is coloured glass or resin fired into recesses cut in the metal, so the colour goes all the way through rather than sitting on the surface as a coating. It can chip on a hard knock, but it will not fade or rub off with wear.

2. What does a rabbit charm mean?
Rabbits carry fertility, spring and new beginnings across most European traditions, and quick wits and good luck across much of East Asia - the lucky rabbit's foot comes from the same idea. It is a natural charm for a new start, a new baby or a spring birthday. Explore the meanings behind our motifs at JewelMotif™.

3. What are the stitch marks?
Engraved dashes cut into the steel around the face and ears, imitating the seam of a sewn plush toy. They are cut into the metal rather than printed, so they will not wear away.

4. It reacts slightly to a magnet - is that a problem?
No. Cast stainless steel normally contains a small amount of ferrite, deliberately, because it stops the metal cracking as it solidifies - that is what a magnet finds. Copper and brass are entirely non-magnetic, so a magnetic response actually rules them out. Full explanation in Is Magnetic Steel Jewellery Fake?.

5. How does it attach?
It comes on a jump ring, which sits over a chain link or a charm carrier. If you would rather have it ready to clip on and off by hand, we can add a small lobster clasp - just ask when you order.

6. Is it suitable as a gift?
Especially for Easter, a spring birthday or a new arrival - the rabbit carries that meaning without needing it spelled out. Every order arrives gift-ready - see JewelGift™.

How to Style the Stitched Bunny Head

The pink is subtle enough to sit with anything, so this charm does not need a colour theme built around it. Give the ears a little clearance on a bracelet so the silhouette reads properly, and keep its neighbours plain. It is designed to pair with the Stitched Bear Head - two animals from the same toybox, which makes a more personal bracelet than two versions of the same thing.
