Your fine jewellery piece is delivered alongside a unique QR code that enables you to trace its journey and the positive impacts that it has generated along the way. Whether you are a discerning Shaun Leane collector or an ethical consumer, the SIGNUM pieces reflect Shaun Leane’s commitment to quality, responsibility, and transparency, and we are proud to offer them to you.
SIGNUM is an embodiment of the relationship that exists between humans and the animal kingdom. The Celtic legends, which celebrate this bond, have been the source of inspiration for the designer's love for wild creature-inspired pieces. The collection represents the spirit of self-discovery and is a testament to the deep connection between humans and animals. The collection takes its cue from Shaun Leane’s personal story of Mrs. Bennet and her baby cubs. These creatures, comprising a family of foxes, were tamed by Shaun Leane over several weeks, gaining their trust by feeding them by hand with brie and Kerrygold buttered bread in his back garden.
“I would call out “Mrs. Bennet” - and she would appear at my feet. The second stage of trust was presenting her cubs to me at my patio doors. I sat on the stairs beside them as the cubs played and fed from my hands. It was a moment of ultimate connection. Animals exist only in the present… The foxes reminded me to live in the day.” – Shaun Leane
The reminiscences of Mrs. Bennet and her offspring triggered a train of thought within Leane, reminding him of his time spent in Ireland, where he maintains his abode in a cottage nestled in MacGillycuddy's Reeks. These memories have resurfaced experiences related to the fauna of the region, which have, in turn, prompted him to investigate his Celtic lineage and their concepts regarding the animal kingdom. It is their belief that the animal kingdom can rekindle guiding traits within us, which foster stronger aspects of our personalities. The instinctive comportment of animals, or "Kindred Spirits," is inherently intertwined with our subconscious selves.
Following a deep dive of research, SIGNUM was born. Each wearer selects their own 'Kindred Spirit' from nine distinct creatures, in order to nurture a particular quality within themselves. The creature that one is instinctively drawn to reflects the quality that one wishes to enhance within oneself for the better. The question is, which Kindred Spirit do you choose?
“Every piece is graced by hands of dozens of passionate goldsmiths; a synergy of love and respect.” – Shaun Leane
Price Range: £2900 - £10,800.
