Merry Christmas From Show Stable Artisans
Who among us has not as a child asked Santa Clause to bring us a pony on Christmas day?
What’s better than a Christmas with horses? From the frosty curls of morning breath sneaking from velvety-soft noses to the soft thud of hoofbeats pounding through the snow, the sheer magic of a midnight Christmas ride beneath the slick, slim crescent of a new moon, horses and holidays just go together.
Of course, you can carry that experience in your heart, but you can also wear it! Throughout the year, we’ve been fortunate enough to find some magnificent vintage and estate pieces for those of you who appreciate the timeless style and craftsmanship of some of history’s finest jewelers. For as long as women have adorned themselves with gold and silver, gems and jewels, artisans have been crafting these precious materials into the objects they desire — which includes horses!
Consider the Cameo Pin and Pendant we’re showcasing today. This piece is hand carved by Gennaro Borriello, an artist with a true eye for equine beauty. This large cameo with two lively horses is loaded with elegant detail. The horses have a keen and alert expression, and their detailed mane, tail and bridled faces exude the ethereal and mystically wonderful scenes which can be typical of classical works of art.
May your stockings be full of the finest horse jewelry! That way you can share your passion for riding, eventing, and plain old hanging around the barn with everyone you meet!
Merry Christmas from the Show Stable Artisans team! As the big day draws near, we’d like to take this time to thank you for your support, your thoughts, your ideas, and your passion. We couldn’t do this without out!
What Does She Want for Christmas? Horse Jewelry, Pandora Compatible Equestrian Beads, and More
If you want her holiday to be merry and bright, give her the horse jewelry she’s been longing for! We’ve been watching the trends this holiday season, so let us tell you what’s showing up most often on wish lists:
Charms Mean Cheer
Gold horse charms, whether a classic like this 14K Gold Roman Horsehead — a piece that just radiates classic elegance and style — or one of our Pandora Compatible Charms are the season’s biggest hit. These small bits of beauty allow the wearer to craft their own life narrative in beauty, remembering the happy hours spent with horses: riding the trails, eventing, even working in the barn!
The beauty of giving charms is the personal, individual nature of the gift. You can commemorate a special time you shared with the recipient: a great day spent together, years working with your horses, the coach who helped you and your horse reach the next level –even when you thought such a thing was never possible.
Charms are not only the trend of the moment, they have a timeless appeal. This is a gift your recipient can cherish and wear for years and years to come — receiving compliments all the while!
Asian Style and Sophistication
An emerging trend, and one that is sure to be adored by your fashion forward horse lover, is jewelry that includes the subtle sophistication and distinctive appeal of Asian design.
These Sterling Silver Earrings are a great example.At just 3/4 of an inch across, they’re large enough to make an impact yet always appropriate. Wearing these earrings will allow your recipient to share their love of horses subtly and effectively, in a timeless, elegant way.
And of course, if you really can’t decide, you can let your special someone select their own present! Gift certificates allow your loved one to be absolutely delighted with their gift — and thrilled by your thoughtfulness and generosity!
