Trends for Spring: Horse Jewelry That Shines

March 21st signals the first day of spring, and with the changing of the seasons comes the changing of the wardrobe — and every well dressed horsewoman needs the perfect horse jewelry to accent their apparel.  Horse jewelry comes in a number of styles: in this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the popular trends for spring time.

Antique and Estate Horse Jewelry

Everything old is new again, whether it’s a genuine estate piece or a modern replica, like this 14K Gold & Sterling Silver Horse Head Pendant, which is modeled on a stunning 1930’s piece.  Classic styling is always appropriate, and the fine detailing speaks to your passion for quality in all you do.

Are You Cuff Enough?

A new bold trend this spring can be spotted as close as the nearest wrist: cuff bracelets are big, big, big.  This is great news for the lover of fine horse jewelry: distinctive cuff bracelets provide the perfect platform for equestrian art.  Check out this 14K Gold and Sterling Silver Fantasy Cuff: with a trio of majestic mounts, manes flying and heads tossing, they’re the picture of high spirited grace every horsewoman holds dear.

GOLD, GOLD, GOLD

If you want your horse jewelry to be fashion forward and trend aware, you want to be wearing gold this spring!  Designers from Milan to NY are bringing out some innovative pieces in gold.  There’s a strong interest in figural work, such as this 14K Gold Horse of the Winds pin. Note the flowing mane and tail: you can almost feel the breeze whipping!  Dynamic design and fine craftsmanship ensures this is a piece that will serve you through this season and beyond!

Timeless Beauty: Egyptian Elegance

This pendant is one of our absolute favorite pieces: a stunning 14K Gold Pharoh’s Horses Pendant, featuring three regal horses, each bold, inquisitive, and proud, sapphire eyes shining.

When a horsewoman hears Egyptian, she automatically thinks Arabian: the fabled fiery temperment, fine breeding, and ancient bloodlines, each and every horse connected to the legendary horses that ran over the sands of time.

This pendant captures that mystery and intrigue.  A bold statement for the horsewoman who appreciates the best.  A full inch across, the dimensional sculpting of this piece adds depth and intricacy: the small diamond accent provides the perfect amount of shine.

If you’re an art lover, you might just recognize J.F. Herring’s work here.  This pendant was inspired by one of the countless works he did for Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Kent — although it may date slightly later, when he was appointed animal painter for Her Royal Majesty, Queen Victoria.  Rendered her in heavy gold, the beauty that once graced royalty’s drawing rooms can now be your own treasure.

A one of a kind piece.  Not to be missed, especially if your love for your horses is as eternal as the pyramids themselves!

True Love Means Showing You Really Understand Her

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner: a holiday for lovers, to celebrate those moments spent together with the most special person in the world.  If you really want your darling to know you cherish and appreciate her, the best thing you can do this Valentine’s Day is demonstrate that you understand her!

Equestrian jewelry can be the answer. Take this sterling silver dressage horsehead pendant, for example.  This is a piece of jewelry that demonstrates you know and honor her passion for her horse — not to mention the hours and dedication required to be a top notch rider.  By encasing the horsehead in a silver heart, you’re honoring the place of her passion– and demonstrating that you’re willing to share in that love.

An old saying says that the easiest way for a man to become sexier is to carry a handful of diamonds.  Now, we hate to argue with conventional wisdom, but we’ve found that the true way to become the man of her dreams involves presenting gifts that demonstrate understanding of who your sweetheart really is– as a person.  This sterling silver horsehead pendant is one way to do it — but if your love lives for the steeplechase or the show ring, the hunt or the trail ride, you’ll be sure to find the perfect piece here: http://www.equestrianjewelry.com/

Three of A Kind

Normally, you only hear about trifectas at the betting counter, but this stunning 14k White Gold Diamond Horseshoe Necklace delivers on three levels for the discerning horsewoman.

First, it offers EXACTLY the right amount of sparkle and shine — attractive without being garish. Always appropriate, this necklace is eye-catching and elegant.

Second, it’s versatile: the horseshoes are hinged, and the Omega necklace that supports them is very flexible, meaning it’s a piece you can wear everyday. It works when you’re in the saddle or in the supermarket!

Third, the design allows the wearer to make a real, definitive statement about their love of horses. Your passion for your horse — or horses! — will come shining through!

 

 

 

Shimmer and Shine

This gray mother of pearl necklace may be the ultimate holiday piece. You can wear it with everything from a white t-shirt and jeans to your little black dress. Sarah Jessica Parker, in Sex and the City, even wore a necklace very like this one to bed! (Not necessarily recommended, mind you!)

You can never, ever go wrong with pearls. Especially not when the pearls look like this:

At 17″ long, this gorgeous necklace rests almost perfectly on one’s breastbone, a great length that works with many necklines. Always appropriate, this necklace is subtle and elegant. It looks fabulous in candlelight, so if someone’s taking you out for a special dinner, you’ll know what to wear.

Pearls are classic and timeless, while the silver-gray sheen of these mother of pearls is very cutting edge and of the moment. A great combo, in limited quantity. You’ll want to find out more  here.

Embrace Fall’s Hottest Color Now

Citrine — the bright, golden color of autumnal sunshine, captured perfectly in stone — is the stone of the moment. Every designer, from here to Europe and back again, is rushing to render up their finest creation in this hot, hot stone.

Seen here in a bold, striking piece, citrine can be used to make a real statement: very fashion forward while still incorporating traditional elegant equine symbols: note the Double Stirrup clasp!

You can wear this long, or double it: versatility in a piece sure to be a key player in your wardrobe this fall! Best of all, some people say that citrine has the power to dispel sadness and chase bad dreams away. If they’re right, you can look good and feel good, all at the same time! Find out here
