Equestrian Jewelry

Page 1

Equestrian Jewelry Horse lovers and riding enthusiasts often like to display their affection for the animals and their hobby. There are a number of methods of doing this. Children might decorate their bedrooms with wallpaper with horses on it or wear badges. I saw a car once with the registration plate "HOR5E" and I have seen men wearing rings with a design of a horse running inlaid into the gemstone in gold. Women frequently wear brooches of a comparable design or just the head of a horse. Equestrian jewellery is stylish 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, many jewellers are realizing the popularity of equestrian jewellery. Although the horse's head brooch is almost certainly the most traditional article of equestrian jewellery, pendants are also popular nowadays. The jeweller can make a larger figure if it is suspended around the neck than if it is attached to the hair or clothing. You may not have seen the sort of jewellery that I am describing, but I bet that you have seen the Lucky Horse Shoe depicted somewhere. The Lucky Horse Shoe is just another aspect of equestrian jewellery. Numerous women like to wear them around their necks or on a Charm Bracelet. The most famous symbol of a horse is probably the Ferrari logo. The Ferrari logo of a rearing horse not just adorns their cars, but can also be seen on official Ferrari artefacts 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 often wear silver or gold riding boots on their Lucky Charm bracelets. Besides the above-mentioned equestrian lucky charms, I have also observed horse buckets, saddles and hunting horns on ladies' charm bracelets or as single charms hanging from the ears or around the neck. They can also be worn as larger pieces as brooches. A lot of this sort of jewellery is meant for the more well-to-do horsey set and for girls as they go through their horse-loving phase. Therefore, the articles are made in two distinct forms: costly and the not so costly - otherwise very few girls would have the opportunity to show their affection for their large four-legged friends. The last group of people that can frequently be seen wearing equestrian jewellery is the gambler who likes to follow horse racing. This is usually a man, but certainly not always.


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