Richard’s extensive knowledge of silversmithing has led to Fox Silver producing outstanding work using traditional making methods. Many of Richard’s early works were painstakingly made by hand.

Electroforming
& precious metal plating
Electroforming is a metal forming process that uses electrodeposition to form, or grow, metal parts onto a model. Electrodeposition involves the electrochemical transfer of metal ions through an electrolyte to a surface from an anode. Fox Silver provides electroforming services in platinum, pure silver and copper.
