Fox Necklace, sterling silver fox head pendant with citrine eyes and silver chain.

Immediately recognizable with their upright triangular ears, a pointed, slightly upturned snout, and long bushy tail, foxes are found on every continent except Antarctica. The global distribution of foxes, together with their widespread reputation for cunning, has contributed to their prominence in popular culture and folklore in many societies around the world.

The sterling silver fox measures 3.5cm, or a little under one and a half inches long. It weighs approximately 30g (which is around an ounce), or 45g including the chain and has its yellow eyes made from citrine cabochons. It was hand carved from wax which had a mould taken from it and was then cast in solid silver and given a hallmark by the assay office. To emphasize the details of the carving the silver fox was given an antique appearance by oxidising and then satin finishing the pendant. The whole piece was then coated with a layer of clear lacquer to help preserve the colouration.
The silver fox has been hung from a sturdy 23 inch long chain with a substantial clasp. This pendant is supplied in its own gift box.

This piece can be made for you with other types of gemstone for its eyes. Please contact me for a quotation.
