A Note from the Founder

When I first started Foxy Rare the brand, it wasn’t a jewellery brand — not yet. It began as a curated collection of fashion and accessories: pieces that made you feel both comfortable and confident, effortlessly stylish but never overdone. My goal was always to help women feel like themselves — just a little more elevated.
But over time, I noticed something shift — in me, and in the people shopping with me. The pieces that kept resonating? That people reached for again and again?
It was always the jewellery or accessories.
So, Foxy Rare evolved. I slowly phased out the clothing side and made the decision to focus fully on jewellery — items you can wear every day, style your own way, and connect with personally. While I don’t hand-make the pieces, I personally source and curate every one to reflect the aesthetic and energy Foxy Rare stands for: intentional, lasting, and effortlessly expressive.
For now, the focus is on 18K gold-plated stainless steel — beautiful, durable, and made to move with you. And for those who prefer cooler tones, sterling silver pieces will be joining the collections soon. (I personally wear both stainless steel and sterling silver so adding silver just make sense!)
(P.S. If you’ve been with Foxy Rare since the beginning — the original clothing sale pieces from 2023/2024 are still available to shop in The Archive section of the store.)
This is where it begins — and here’s why this material felt like the right place to start.

Why I Chose Gold-Plated Stainless Steel
Choosing the right material was one of the most important decisions I made when shifting Foxy Rare toward jewellery. I didn’t want pieces that faded after two wears, or that you had to baby like fine gold. But I also didn’t want to offer something that felt too temporary or disposable.
I wanted that sweet spot — the one where beauty meets strength, where everyday wear feels elevated, but still real.
That’s exactly what 18K gold-plated stainless steel offers:
A rich, golden glow that looks luxe but doesn’t break the bank
A sturdy, non-tarnishing base metal that can handle daily wear
A hypoallergenic, skin-safe finish that doesn’t irritate or react
It’s the kind of jewellery that’s made to be worn, not tucked away for “special occasions.”
Why This Still Feels Personal
Even though I don’t handcraft these pieces myself, they’re still incredibly personal to me. I test each one. I wear them myself. I style them the way I’d style anything in my life — with heart, mood, and meaning. Because jewellery isn’t just decoration. It’s how we mark memories. How we tell the world something without saying a word. It’s a form of soft armour — and every woman deserves that.
Final Thoughts
Foxy Rare started with fashion, but jewellery is where it found its soul.
Choosing 18K gold-plated stainless steel wasn’t about cutting corners — it was about choosing something strong, wearable, and timeless. Something I could offer at a price that makes sense, but still makes you feel like you’re putting on something special.
So if you’ve ever wondered whether plated jewellery is “real” enough — let me say this:
You don’t need a diamond to feel grounded. You don’t need solid gold to shine. You just need jewellery that feels like you. That’s what Foxy Rare is all about.
