Cameo Horse Jewelry

December 9, 2012 by Alison Greene Leave a Comment

Raise your hand if you’re a fan of cameo jewelry! I know there are lots of you out there. Cameo is a very old art form, practiced by jewelry artisans for thousands and thousands of years. Images are carved in relief, which means they stand out, in several types of material. You’ll hear about shell cameo, gemstone cameos, even bakelite cameo!

Most cameo jewelry features a lovely woman in profile. Other subjects, including scenery and animals, is relatively rare.  And we have to say, with all our years in the business, we’ve never seen a cameo pendant quite like this one.

Carved in a beautifully colored blue agate, this cameo features a finely carved horse. The tail is flowing, and the horse appears to be moving along at a good pace – nice for fans of running horse jewelry! This 14K Gold blue cameo horse pendant is delicate and detailed. It’s only 3/4″ wide and 5/8″ tall – imagine the craftsmanship it took to create such beauty in such a confined space! If you’re searching for a gift of fine horse jewelry that will take her breath away, look no further – you’ve found it!

 

Of course, if you’d like to keep looking, we’re not going to stop you!  Here’s another great piece of cameo horse jewelry from our collection. This 14K Gold Fantasy Horse Cameo Pendant is a close up view of a exquisitely detailed horse’s head, with finely flowing mane swirling in the wind. The dark blue agate stone this cameo is carved from provides lovely color and depth to the piece. You can wear this pendant everyday, and it’s beautiful enough for the most special events.

Christmas is coming! Fine horse jewelry makes a fabulous gift, especially when it’s beautiful and well-made. These cameo horse pendants certainly fit the bill. Perfect for the granddaughter who loves horses!

About Alison Greene

Show Stable Artisans, The Equestrian Jeweler, was started in 1994 by 2 friends who had a passion for horses and jewelry- and who wanted to share the passion with others. They sought out the best artisans who created the finest pieces of equestrian jewelry -beautiful and keepsake pieces that reflected the equestrian lifestyle.

We chose the name for our blog for 2 reasons. The first reason is because we hope to “spotlight” the relevant trends, horse jewelry and information that will be of interest to you. The second reason we chose the name is to honor the most wonderful horse I have ever had- In the Spotlight, the chestnut horse pictured throughout this blog. She was an unbelievable show horse, a loving companion and my horse of a lifetime!
