Vintage Black Rabbit Pendant cameos & intaglios and chips around the hingesCool vintage Black Rabbit pendant dating from the 1960s. It's very likely that this was made to commemorate the Chinese year of the Black Rabbit (aka water rabbit) in 1963, built in 23 carat yellow gold and finished in enamel. There's more than one cycle in play in the Chinese Zodiac: the 12 animals rotate each lunar new year, while the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water rotating on their own cycle. Era: Vintage, circa 1963 Size: 15.
