A rabbit charm is a little piece of good luck you can wear. It stands for fortune, gentleness, fertility and fresh starts, and few animals carry as much friendly folklore on their backs.
A lucky animal: Rabbits have been tied to luck for centuries. The rabbit's foot was carried as a talisman long before modern times, and an English tradition from around the turn of the twentieth century says that if 'rabbit, rabbit' or 'white rabbit' is the first thing you say on the first day of the month, good luck will follow you until the next one. Even wartime pilots were said to repeat it before flying.
The rabbit in the moon: In Chinese and Japanese folklore a rabbit lives on the moon, where it pounds the elixir of life. Look up at a full moon and the dark patches really do trace long ears and a crouching body. The moon rabbit links this small animal to longevity and quiet magic.
Spring and new beginnings: Rabbits appear with the first warm days of the year, which is why they became symbols of renewal and fertility in old European spring rites, and why one still delivers the eggs at Easter.
What the rabbit charm represents
Worn on a bracelet or necklace, a rabbit charm is a warm-hearted wish for luck and happiness. It can celebrate a fresh chapter, a growing family, or simply a love of the countryside and its creatures.
Who the rabbit charm suits
Give a rabbit charm to a nature lover, a rabbit owner, a mum-to-be, someone with a spring birthday, or anyone starting again. It suits birthdays, Easter, Christmas and christenings alike.
The design behind the rabbit charm
The Lily Charmed rabbit charm sits with its long ears up and alert, and comes in two finishes: recycled 925 sterling silver with a tarnish-resistant rhodium plating, and the same charm plated in warm 18ct gold. Both fit Pandora bracelets and most charm carriers thanks to the universal hinged clasp.
How to wear the rabbit charm
Wear the rabbit alone as a daily pinch of luck, or gather it with other woodland, garden and nature charms for a bracelet that feels like a walk in spring. Pair it with the four leaf clover charm to double the good fortune, or browse our other animal charms, earrings and charm necklaces.
