The rat is a popular motif in jewelry design, going back at least to Victorian times. These tiny creatures represent Anthony Lent's ongoing study of the natural world. So much of our work is about exploring the nearly invisible, in finding beauty where you don't expect to find it by incorporating details that people often fail to notice at first glance. These pieces can be thought of as clever references to the frequent appearance of these creatures in sentimental poetry.
