Horse Jewelry

By Owen Jones


Horse fanciers and riding aficionados often like to display their affection for the animals and their hobby. There are a number of ways of doing this. Children may decorate their bedrooms with wallpaper with horses on it or wear buttons.

I saw a car a while ago with the number plate "HOR5E" and I have seen men wearing rings with an image of a horse running inlaid into the stone in gold. Women frequently wear brooches of a similar design or just the head of a horse.

Equestrian jewellery is smart and also timeless enough to be worn on any occasion. A beautiful horse's head drawn in tiny diamonds makes a dazzling brooch, but so does one fashioned from gold or silver. In fact, numerous jewellers are realizing the popularity of equestrian jewellery.

Although the horse's head brooch is almost certainly the most traditional piece of equestrian jewellery, pendants are also well-liked nowadays. The jeweller can fashion a larger piece if it is suspended about the neck than if it is attached to the hair or clothing.

You may not have seen the type of jewellery that I am describing, but I bet that you have seen the Lucky Horse Shoe displayed somewhere. The Lucky Horse Shoe is only another aspect of equestrian jewellery. Many women like to wear them around their necks or on a Charm Bracelet.

The most famous symbol of a horse is almost certainly the Ferrari logo. The Ferrari logo of a rearing horse not only adorns their cars, but can also be seen on official Ferrari memorabilia such as Ferrari jewellery, Ferrari watches and Ferrari shirts and jumpers.

However, equestrian jewellery does not just come in the shape of the horses themselves. The accoutrements to riding are also often represented in jewellery. Men frequently use cuff links in the form of tiny stirrups and women frequently wear silver or gold riding boots on their Lucky Charm bracelets.

Besides the above-mentioned equestrian lucky charms, I have also seen horse buckets, saddles and hunting horns on ladies' charm bracelets or as single charms hanging from the ears or about the neck. They can also be worn as larger pieces as brooches.

Much of this sort of jewellery is intended for the more well-to-do horsey set and for girls as they go through their horse-loving stage. Therefore, the articles are manufactured in two distinct forms: expensive and the not so expensive - otherwise very few girls would get the chance to show their affection for their large four-legged friends.

The last group of people that may frequently be seen wearing equestrian jewellery is the gambler who likes to bet on horse racing. This is normally a man, but certainly not always.

These men will frequently wear pins of some form depicting an aspect of their love of the sport and the animals. They might also think of them as lucky charms as well.
