Foxtail
Sterling Silver Foxtail Chains
Foxtail chains, so named because of their resemblance to the pattern of the hairs on a fox’s tail seem impossibly fine in detail whilst retaining a smooth and elegant outline. They are made up of slanted oval links facing each other at a 45 degree angle which are connected by a series of flat rings running down the centre that are not visible from the outside. Available in standard and twisted variations, they are timeless and elegant. Popular with both men and women of all ages, this is an ideal gift that will last for many years, regardless as to how the wearer’s style changes. Because these chains are works of art in themselves, they are commonly worn on their own, although the slimmer chains can be worn very effectively with statement pendants to really enhance the impact. Larger chains, particularly the square or twisted varieties, add a dramatic effect, really lifting an outfit and requiring little to no additional jewellery. A key benefit for those with long hair is that the construction of Foxtail chains means that they are unlikely to catch and pull on hair. Even though they appear so detailed, the way they are crafted makes them extremely practical from this perspective. Men, in particular, have discovered Foxtail chains in recent years. The quality of construction, the feel and the effortless elegance that the larger diameter chains give work well with modern styles, both more formal and casual. The smaller chains sit beautifully on the collar bone and give impact without appearing stiff and old fashioned, whilst the larger diameters work well to give keynote impact and also make great chokers. Whether you opt for large or small diameter, round or square, standard or twisted, Foxtail chains add easy impact and style to any outfit and are suitable for both daily and occasion wear.
