Akitsune

Why do people - and even animals - adorn themselves with things like jewelry? To look good, but also to attract a certain kind of attention, and give off a certain energy. It's a status symbol, or evidence of belonging to a particular culture, group, or institution. In this vein, men's jewelry by Akitsune is designed to both create a particular aesthetic, and represent a particular philosophy. "Kitsune" is the Japanese word for fox - but in the folkloric sense, where foxes were imbued with powers and knowledge, represented in artistic ways. These pieces invoke that same symbolism and versatility.
