Antique 18ct Gold Fox Head Ring (Size L½)
Edwardian 18ct gold ring (1900–1910). Set with ruby. Marked 18ct.
£325
Description
This little fox started life as the top of an antique 18ct gold stickpin, and has now been mounted on a slim, period 18ct gold band to make a one of a kind ring. He has a beautifully textured coat, pricked up ears and bright red Ruby eyes that give him a sly, knowing look. Stickpins were worn by Victorian and Edwardian gentlemen to hold their cravats and ties in place, and the fox was a favourite of the sporting set, turning up on all sorts of pins, cufflinks and fobs from the period. So few people wear stickpins today that giving one a new life as a ring is the perfect way to wear a genuine antique piece every day. Resizeable.
