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!

The horse’s eyes are sapphire , the bright blue gem beloved by many and a perpetual holiday favorite.

For the horse jewelry collector, this piece could proudly serve as the centerpiece or focal point of any collection. High quality craftsmanship, museum level sculptural detail, and the best of modern technique and classical design can be yours — but you’ll have to act soon if you want it in time for Christmas. This piece comes from England, home of the proud racing tradition, and requires a few weeks delivery time.  Don’t delay if you want to be the one to present the most amazing horse jewelry ever this Christmas!

Horse Jewelry For the Free Spirit

The love of horses is universal: you can look in corporate boardrooms and find people who are passionate about horses.  You can look down on the farm, and find people who are passionate about horses.  You can look everywhere in between and find horse lovers — and all of these people need jewelry that commemorates and celebrates that passion.

This week, we’d like to focus on the free spirit: the creative, artistic types who are passionate about horses and have a unique individual flair.  These folks aren’t conventional: they want the one-of-a-kind piece that represents THEM.

Estate and heirloom horse jewelry is often the ideal choice for the free spirit.  Check out this pendant:

A large, hand-carved (and we know that hand made pieces are highly valued by creative individuals!) oval carnelian shell pendant features a reclining, dreamy-faced woman in repose next to a majestic rearing horse.  Look at the spirit and passion of the horse, coupled with the quiet, contented contemplation of the woman: is this not the perfect representation of the creative spirit in all its manifestations?

What’s nice about this piece is that it is versatile.  While it’s pictured here as a pendant, it’s also a pin: the bail folds down, allowing the cameo to be worn on a lapel, pinned on a jacket, accenting an outfit in a unique striking way.

If you’re a fan of Victorian jewelry this piece will resonate with you.  Classic, timeless styling hearkens back to an ideal time, when we were able to focus on what’s truly important, without all of the modern day distractions that keep us from what we truly love and value.  Slipping this pendant on can serve as a point of connection, serving as a tangible touchstone that reminds us of what we really, honestly are in our hearts.

When shopping for the free spirit, you want to look for pieces that are unique and one of a kind.  Focus on the beauty of the piece, and don’t sweat it if it’s not ‘trendy’ — your creative sweetheart or daughter doesn’t focus on the trend.  They want the piece that represents them — and what could make a more perfect gift than that piece of horse jewelry that honors their creative nature!
