The Foxtail Bone & Drop Necklace is a handcrafted sterling silver necklace made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. It belongs to the Curios Collection, where natural history, memento mori symbolism and careful craftsmanship meet.
The design is formed from a fox tail vertebra, chosen for its small sculptural shape and delicate natural structure. Cast in sterling silver, the bone form becomes a lasting wearable object with a refined, slightly gothic presence.
This necklace is available with your choice of freshwater pearl, onyx or amethyst drop. Freshwater pearl adds soft organic lustre, onyx creates a darker gothic contrast, and amethyst introduces a gentle violet tone to the silver bone form.
Materials: Sterling silver with your choice of freshwater pearl, onyx or amethyst drop.
Process: Each necklace is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The original fox tail vertebra was carefully moulded before being cast in sterling silver. Slight differences in texture, finish and pearl or gemstone character should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: Necklace length 44 cm.
