Gypsy Set Horse Jewelry

April 7, 2011 by Alison Greene Leave a Comment

Gypsy gold does not chink and glitter. It gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark. I read this quote from the Galaway Gypsys, and it made me smile – there is a sentiment that truly describes how we feel about horses. Our horses are dearer than any gold we can wear on our fingers!

That being said, there’s a lot to be said about gold horse rings. The jewelry term ‘Gypsy Set’ is not one everyone is familiar with. What the term means is a ring, usually gold, that has one or more jewels set deeply into the metal. This style of setting stones is ideal for Rider Rings – rings worn by horsewomen that can stand up to the demands of life with horses. The risk of losing a stone is diminished when the stones are securely held in the channel.

You’ll see Gypsy set horse jewelry a lot when you’re considering vintage and estate horse jewelry. People were far more cautious with their gems back in the day – but no one really wants to lose a sapphire or diamond now. If you choose this Vintage 9K Rose Gold and Sapphire Ring you’ll be able to wear it with confidence. Rose gold is one of the hottest jewelry trends for the 2011 Spring Season.

Did you know that there’s an American Gypsy Horse breed? Talk about some truly magnificent animals. These horses are quite large, and strikingly colored: I can imagine how a team would look pulling a colorful wagon into town!

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!
