The Foxtail Bone Link with Onyx 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 fox tail vertebrae shapes, linked together to create a delicate chain of bone-like silver forms. Paired with onyx, the necklace has a darker, more grounded presence, balancing natural structure with a refined gothic mood.
The result is intimate, symbolic and connected to my ongoing interest in natural history, ethical specimen work, memory and preservation.
Materials: Sterling silver and onyx
Process: Each necklace is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The original fox tail vertebrae forms were carefully moulded before being cast in sterling silver, then linked together and finished by hand. Slight differences in texture, finish and gemstone character should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: Necklace length: 38 cm, with 3 cm extension chain.
Each bone form: 2 cm.

FAQ
Q1: Is the Foxtail Bone Link with Onyx Necklace made from real bone?
A: The finished necklace is made from sterling silver, not bone. The design began with real fox tail vertebrae forms, which were carefully moulded so their small structure and surface detail could be preserved before being cast in sterling silver.
Q2: How do I clean the Skull & Cross Bone with Drop Earrings?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals, and gently polish the sterling silver with a soft jewellery cloth. Because the earrings include a freshwater pearl or onyx drop, do not place the drop in silver dip. A silver dip may be used occasionally on the silver components only, following the product instructions carefully before rinsing and drying completely.
Q3: Is the Foxtail Bone Link with Onyx Necklace suitable as a gift?
A: Yes. Each piece is packaged in an Olivia Dryden Jewellery branded velvet pouch and is suited to collectors who appreciate handmade jewellery with story, natural detail and quiet gothic symbolism.
