Silver fox!

When I lived in London I could guarantee that I would see a fox every day. Since moving to the Suffolk countryside I hardly see them at all. It just shows how these remarkable creatures have adapted to town life and manages to find easy food and shelter.

I can remember watching two fox cubs playing in the falling snow in the middle of the day in our back garden.

What does a fox symbolize?

Cleverness

Independence

Playfulness

Mischievousness

Beauty

Protection

Good Luck

I have started to make a fox pendant as part of my Enchanted range and if it is successful I may make some other types of fox jewellery including earrings and rings.

Understanding the Symbolism Behind Fox Jewellery

The idea of a having your very own spirit animal is steeped in history, often represented in many a tale throughout folklore across a myriad of cultures.

From Native American, Celtic, Chinese and Japanese folklore, the stealthy fox represents both one and many different things.

If you’re considering investing in a piece of fox jewellery for a close friend, relative, or yourself, here’s what it could represent:

The Cunning Fox

Across most cultures and throughout many a folklore tale, the fox is represented as being cunning, crafty, and perhaps a little devious. But aside from this, the fox is most revered for its spiritual presence and its intelligence.

In Native American culture, the fox sits close to the top of the Animal Totem pole. It’s revered as a guru, and the ultimate guide to lead a person down their destined path.

In fact, the northern tribe Native Americans observe the fox as a noble messenger.

The Resourceful Fox

In terms of actual scientific findings, the fox is, indeed, an extremely intelligent creature, but even more so resourceful.

The fox’s resourcefulness ranges from its hunting abilities, stealthy nature, strategic camouflage and ability to outwit any potential threats.

. The Wise Fox

In Celtic folklore, the fox is revered for its unmatched wisdom and yet again, its intelligence. The Celtic’s view the fox as the ultimate guide within both the physical and spiritual world and it is greatly honoured for this wisdom.

The Protective Fox

In Japanese folklore, the fox represents one of the rain spirits and is believed to be a messenger from the rice God, Inari. As a result, the fox is seen as a symbol of longevity, as a provider, and a protector from evil spirits. A fox necklace in Japan is called Kitsune.

The Adaptable Fox

Foxes are well-known for the keen sense of awareness and incredibly fine-tuned senses. Some foxes can hear a watch ticking from 40 yards away, so this just goes to show there’s no escaping their discerning demeanour.

As a spirit animal, the fox is believed to reveal its true talents during times of uncertainty and great change. With its heightened sense of awareness and attentiveness, the fox is incredibly adaptable.

In essence, the fox also represents mental responsiveness and is a great symbol of strength during times of change.

I hope you will keep an eye out for my fox pendant when she is finished. I hope to complete it very soon.
