No Purer Love: Mare and Foal

Is there any sight more heart-warming, more guaranteed go make you go “Awww!” than a newborn foal nuzzling up to its Mother? No matter how many times you’ve seen it, it never fails to be a miracle.

It’s almost that time of year again, despite the snow you might see out your window.  Foaling season is on our mind this morning, as we’ve read that the Bureau of Land Management has agreed to delay some of their annual wild horse herd roundups until after foaling season. Wild horse roundups are controversial in and of themselves: some people say they’re essential for herd control and health, while others say they’re dangerous and inhumane.

What isn’t open to debate is the sheer magnificence of seeing a new foal: the filly’s wobbly legs and flickering tail as she teeters upright, delicate and determined at the same time as she seeks out her mother’s milk — or the unbounded exuberance of a colt who’s just discovered he can do more than stand, he can walk — and then he can do more than walk, he can run — and maybe, just maybe, if he could get these tiny hooves off the ground long enough, he might just be able to fly.

Wouldn’t you be able to capture that energy and joy in your heart? You can do the next best thing and wear it close to yours!  This pendant is a particular favorite of ours.  Rendered in 14K gold, with diamond eyes and exquisite detailing, this mare and foal pendant is the perfect piece for so many looks: the ideal accent for a romantic look, sporty enough to wear as an everyday piece — perhaps a signature piece!

Also an ideal gift, especially for a new mother — or from a child to their mother!  Love transcends all, no matter what species we are.  Horses, in this instance, just say it best.

Tell Your Story With Horse Jewelry

The latest trend in the jewelry world is for what some are calling ‘narrative pieces’.  These are pieces of jewelry — pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and especially charms — that come with a story.  Jane Seymour’s eloquent tale of her mother’s advice to always keep your heart open led her to design a pendant that’s become remarkably popular.

But you don’t have to be a jewelry designer to tell your life story with jewelry.  You can convey the tale of your life with the jewelry you wear!

For example, take this piece, which we’re calling The Ultimate Rider’s Charm Bracelet. At first glance, it’s immediately apparent to even the most casual observer that the wearer loves horses.  Look at the horseshoe charm, and the finely detailed horse head.  Closer examination reveals more: the gloves, boots, and hat that speak to hours preparing for the show arena, the training, the grooming, the nerves fluttering like so many wayward butterflies in your stomach.  And of course, the show ribbon — and who couldn’t use a little good luck, delivered in the form of a four leaf clover?

Selecting jewelry that tells a story is an intensely personal process.  You want to think carefully about what’s important to you, and then take the time to really browse through all of your options. It’s possible to be fashion forward and still very individual: Charm Jewelry is one great option. A golden wheelbarrow might remind you of wonderful days working in the barn, or a childhood when you were so excited just to be around the horses that you’d do anything — even muck stalls — simply to be there. It’s about YOUR memories, YOUR story, and YOUR look.  So don’t delay: start telling your story today!

Art Nouveau Horse Jewelry

Society had become too mechanized, impersonal, factory-driven.  The individual craftsman, their passion and genius, was lost in the headlong rush to produce, produce, produce.

The date? The very earliest days of the twentieth century.

The result? The flowering of the Art Noveau movement, thought by many to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing, elegant, attractive art styles humanity has ever conceived of.

With an emphasis on making art part of everyday life, introducing elements of grace and style into everything from household objects — ornamental vases, glassware, and furniture — to clothing and adornment, art nouveau truly changed how we view the world.

It’s no wonder that so many people are drawn to collecting art nouveau jewelry: for the horse lover, this easily translates into a passion for art nouveau horse jewelry.  Horses are, of course, beautiful in and of themselves: when you put their image into the hands of an artisan determined to represent them in the most elegant, graceful, stylish way possible, it’s a don’t miss combination.

There are two ways to build an art nouveau horse jewelry collection.  You can collect authentic, antique art nouveau pieces, such as the fob pendant shown here.  Take note of the long, elegant lines shown — the horses bridles are perfectly detailed.  You can almost feel the wind pushing through their manes!

Another option, especially attractive to those just starting a horse jewelry collection, is to seek out modern pieces rendered in an art nouveau style.  Fashions wax and wane: art nouveau goes through a renaissance every few decades; generally in response to troubling economic or social times.  Small wonder: when you’re feeling down one of the best ways to lift your spirits is to surround yourself with beauty.  Art Nouveau horse jewelry certainly delivers that!
