Platypus Men’s Pendant in Sterling Silver
The Platypus Men’s Pendant is a handmade Australian men’s pendant by Bushprints, crafted in sterling silver and shaped from a platypus footprint silhouette. Distinctly Australian, quietly unusual and thankfully less confusing than the actual animal, it is a meaningful piece for anyone drawn to native wildlife.
The Platypus Men’s Pendant by Bushprints is a distinctive handmade pendant crafted in polished sterling silver. Inspired by the footprint of the Australian platypus, the design turns a small trace of one of our strangest and most iconic animals into a wearable keepsake with a clean, understated finish.
Designed for men who want jewellery with an Australian story, this pendant works as an everyday necklace, a thoughtful gift or a reminder of time spent near rivers, bushland, wildlife encounters or somewhere with more character than office lighting. It is simple enough to wear often, but personal enough to mean more than just another silver pendant.
Handmade by Australian jeweller Bushprints, the Platypus pendant is made to order in Melbourne. Due to the handmade nature of the design, slight variations may occur each time the piece is made.
