Jewelry Spotlight: Fox Jewelry

May 15, 2011 by Alison Greene Leave a Comment

“You know what a fox is, don’t you? A fox is a wolf who remembered to send flowers…”

Horse lovers have long had a special affection for the fox.  This may be due to the long history of fox hunting, where rider and horse pair with baying bands of hounds to chase the elusive red-tailed creature over hill and dale.

More often than not, the fox slips away…and perhaps there lies the root of our affection. Foxes are wily and elusive, not easily caught.  Foxes are known to be tricksters. They survive by outwitting and eluding their prey.  Where a wolf might survive on brute strength alone, and dogs depend on their friends and human companions, a fox uses wit, wisdom, and the ability to lie low to make their way in this world.

Gold Fox Jewelry

Many horse jewelry collectors appreciate fine fox jewelry.  You can find beautiful fox earrings, such as these signet earrings pictured above. Slightly less than half an inch across, these oval shaped earrings flatter many face shapes.  The gold fox head is striking and dramatic against a black background.  These earrings can be worn with formal and casual outfits – can you imagine how sharp they’d look with your show ring outfit? If you’re looking for fox earrings, be aware that one trend is to have fox earrings with jeweled eyes.  You can find foxes that have ruby eyes or sapphire eyes, for example, and both styles are extremely striking and distinctive, adding just enough sparkle.

Fox pins are extremely popular.  Right now, we’re lucky to have a nice collection of sterling silver fox pins available.  Foxes sitting, sleeping, running, or even dancing are all beautiful options.  Fox jewelry makes a great gift, for yourself or for a friend. In Japan, the fox symbolizes both longevity and protection from evil – a great gift for someone you want to keep around for a very long time! Native Americans considered the fox a messenger – but whether the news was good or bad was often uncertain!

About Alison Greene

Show Stable Artisans, The Equestrian Jeweler, was started in 1994 by 2 friends who had a passion for horses and jewelry- and who wanted to share the passion with others. They sought out the best artisans who created the finest pieces of equestrian jewelry -beautiful and keepsake pieces that reflected the equestrian lifestyle.

We chose the name for our blog for 2 reasons. The first reason is because we hope to “spotlight” the relevant trends, horse jewelry and information that will be of interest to you. The second reason we chose the name is to honor the most wonderful horse I have ever had- In the Spotlight, the chestnut horse pictured throughout this blog. She was an unbelievable show horse, a loving companion and my horse of a lifetime!
