She’s Foxy

Rabid Fox Rings

Remember how the little prince tamed the fox? He really had that critter wrapped around his finger.

Now you can follow his lead with Rabid Fox rings. The line, designed by Linda Smyth and Rebecca Pulver, features cutesy animals cast in precious metals. 

The solid sterling or gold-plated bronze rings are made in molds created from toys, which are transformed into cast-metal jewelry through a process called lost-wax casting. Designs include a pair of horses, a cute bunny, or a hippo.

Of course, the Fox in question here is a rabid one, so naturally the designs have a bit of edge to temper their sweetness.

Unlike the little prince.
