Sleepy Dormouse

I love dormice so just had to by this lovely necklace when I discovered that a percentage of the price was going towards their support. The tiny dormouse curled up fast asleep us exquisite.

Thank you, Margaret — this is such a lovely review to read. The Sleepy Dormouse is one of our most cherished designs, and knowing it found a home with someone who adores dormice makes it even more special. Thank you for supporting both our small business and the wildlife charities we donate to. Maggie x

Cute!

Cute dormouse, surprisingly weighty for the size. My only comment would be regarding the spring catch, which is the ring-type. It can be quite fiddly to fasten/unfasten, and might be better if it was a lobster-type clasp?...
