Discover one of the finest diamond fox heads we have ever found! Rarely seen in higher carat gold than the usual 9-carat, this exquisite piece is crafted in silver and 14-carat gold, making it a true treasure. Originally a Victorian stick pin, we've meticulously transformed this handsome fox into a captivating pendant.
Encrusted with prominent, bright, sparkling rose-cut diamonds that are all of an excellent cut, reflecting the light beautifully, and featuring two cabochon ruby eyes, this fox head pendant showcases fascinating engraved details that define its expression, mouth, ears, and fur.
Crafted in solid silver and backed in 14-carat gold, the pendant feels substantial despite its modest size. We've added a handmade oval pendant bail in 18-carat yellow gold, allowing you to easily add it to your chains and charm holders.
In excellent condition, with only a tiny diamond missing from his nose (noticeable only under magnification), this beautiful fox is a charming addition to your antique jewellery collection.
In Victorian jewellery, foxes symbolised cleverness, cunning, and adaptability—traits admired for their association with survival and intelligence. Fox motifs were especially popular during the latter half of the 19th century, reflecting the era's fascination with nature and the sentimental meanings attached to animals.
Adorn your necklace layers with this lovingly converted diamond fox charm, dating to circa 1860-1890, and embrace the wit and resourcefulness it symbolises.
