haute fox tales

rays of silver

sometimes out of frustration comes a new calling which is the story of manoa jewelry designer fox lach who started out making jewelry for herself in response to the dreaded fashion emergency. with a little boost of encouragement from friends and family, fox began exploring new techniques and styles which eventually developed into her very own collection.

while her haute fox jewelry line may be a recent arrival to the island style scene, the former seattle resident made hawaii home nine years ago eventually settling down in the familiar rainy valleys of manoa. fox shapes each piece in her collection by hand utilizing techniques learned in local jewelry classes and brings the islands into play via little details like matching a stone to a blazing sunset or reinterpreting the gentle waves of the sea into something more wearable.
