EQUESTRIAN JEWELLERY BUYING TIPS From The Expert!

When it comes to beautiful equestrian inspired jewellery, The Silver Stable offers the ultimate British handmade equestrian jewellery design.

We spoke to their talented Founder and Designer, Camilla Cottle, for her exclusive tips on choosing and buying equestrian jewellery for yourself or loved one. Versatility “When choosing a jewellery piece for someone else or yourself, think about the piece’s versatility; can it be worn with countless outfits or is it more a special occasion piece or evening wear only? Choosing a piece of jewellery that can be dressed up or down and will be enjoyed teamed with jeans or cocktail dress will be appreciated far more than a piece of jewellery that doesn’t fit in with your/their lifestyle.” Longevity “When buying a piece of equestrian jewellery, look for a piece that offers longevity and wear. A beautiful handmade piece of jewellery not only provides that unique ‘one-off’ appeal but the attention to detail in crafting the piece and the materials used will stand the test of time in both looks and wear. Look after your designer jewellery, and it will last years and bring joy every time you wear it.”

Mix and match “Will the jewellery you are looking to buy fit with your wardrobe and work with the rest of your beloved jewellery box? Every piece of jewellery is designed as part of a collection, which you can add to effortlessly. However, it will also have to fit with your existing jewellery collection in mind. “The combination of Silver and Gold pieces is born from my own desire to marry my jewellery collection, which is a blend of both. The contemporary look combined with our classic equestrian styling means that our collection also works beautifully with antique pieces of jewellery as well.” Considerations “When looking for a piece of equestrian jewellery, look for something that will become a treasured item you’ll love for years to come. Choosing something made in the UK and by an independent designer is an investment in British talent. “If it’s handmade, it’s unique to you. Many of our pieces can be personalised with initials so again, they make for a treasured anniversary, birthday and celebratory gift. Some of our customers even have their horses’ initials engraved on their jewellery as keepsakes and treasured memories of their beloved horses.“

One size doesn’t fit all “When shopping for jewellery, consider the sizing; not just the length of the chain or size of the ring, but the jewellery’s actual size. If you are petite, choosing an oversized piece of jewellery can dominate you and rather than being a ‘statement’ piece, it can overwhelm you and your outfit! “Our collections are designed with elegance in mind, and because they are beautifully handcrafted, they make a subtle statement that gets noticed for all the right reasons! “If you are shopping online and unsure of the length of a necklace chain or the width of a bangle, then take a piece of string, cut it to the length and try it on. If it’s a bangle, then cut out the width on paper and wrap around your wrist. These methods may sound a little crude, but it can give you a better idea of the best sizing to suit you.”
