The cunning fox has many famous parts—quick eyes and a sharp nose, for example—but it was the fluffy tail that captivated Temple St. Clair Carr when she began drafting designs for this couture bauble. The Sleeping Fox ring is just one of the nine critter-themed jewels in her Mythical Creatures From the Golden Menagerie collection. “To me, a red fox is all about his tail,” says the designer. “They sweep their tails around them so beautifully when they’re curled up.” Seeing the entire series come to life was liberating for Carr, who’s “been waiting to do something in high jewelry for so long.” She adds, “I’ve been doing bespoke pieces for clients for years, but what was wonderful about this was that it was made out of pure creativity. The whole collection is my design style on steroids.”Fox in a BoxThis one-of-a-kind 18k gold ring features 3.4 cts. t.w. spinels, 1
