Leaping foxes and dancing vixens.
vixen necklace – handmade and recycled silver half crown coin
Inspired by re-watching ‘The animals of Farthing wood’, i have crafted these Foxes and Vixen from sterling silver half crown coins.
Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Their cultural stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Folktales speak of kitsune being faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives. Foxes and human beings lived close together in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsunetsuki literally means the state of being possessed by a fox.
Vulpecula is a faint constellation in the northern sky. Its name is Latin for “little fox”, although it is commonly known simply as the fox.
The foxes and vixen have been roughly sketched onto the surface of the flattened silver coins (Gorgeous recycled sterling silver.) They are then cut out by hand using a traditional jewellers piercing saw. Each necklace ordered will be completely unique and individual. Be assured that it will be equally, if not more beautiful. You are welcome to select your fox or vixen and choose their decoration.
Size : Approx 50 mm * 35 mm

I purchased the vixen with oak leaves on her tail. She is beautiful and even more gorgeous than the picture! There is a gold coloured acorn on the chain which makes adds a lovely touch of colour. This is a quality item with so many little details. You won’t be disappointed.

I ordered the Kitsunetsuki necklace without a pattern on his body and I am absolutely in love. He is just perfect. So happy I finally made a decision and ordered him!

I chose the kitsunetsuki, with a moon and star pattern, and a copper star charm. He is just perfect, I’ve named him Raynardine. This is my fourth Hairy Growler piece (I’m getting seriously obsessed) and as always the detail and quality is just beautiful. x

Such an absolutely beautiful thing – it was a bit of an indulgence, but I am enjoying wearing this so much, so it was worth it. And when I’m not wearing it, I have it hanging up where I can see it. Lovely workmanship, and the back (with initials) is also very satisfying. Thank you!
