Fox Stud earrings, Antique Wax seal impressions
This seal features the image of a fox. Foxes are said to represent wisdom, shrewdness and wit. In heraldry it is therefore a symbol of one who will use all his shrewdness, sagacity, with and wisdom for his own defence.
These earrings have been given an oxidized patina and handpolished to highlight the details.
Size.........
The earrings measure approx. 10.00mm across the diameter. This may alter slightly due to the fact that each one is made individually by hand. The back of the earrings are quite generously proportioned too.

Wax Seal Jewelry......
Each piece offered for sale is an imprint or cast of an antique wax seal from my personal collection. I use 100% sterling silver as this has the strength and durability needed for a piece of jewelry that is to be worn for years. All the jumps rings, clasps etc, are also sterling silver and each part is soldered, also for strength and durability. My intention is to make a piece that could become an heirloom too and for it to last generations.
Each piece is individually handmade and therefore no two pieces will be exactly the same, they will however be extremely similar. The mark of the maker has been purposely left on the casts. The signs of age, cracks and tool marks all add to the charm of the piece and are an intentional feature.
