Horse Jewelry Spotlight: Lockets

March 10, 2011 by Alison Greene Leave a Comment

Among all the types of jewelry in the world, lockets are, perhaps, the most sentimental. Lockets were originally designed for wearers to keep an image of a beloved (once painted, and then photographs) nearby.Whenever you wanted to see your sweetheart, you could simply gaze at the image in your locket.

Remember, in those days, before we had the internet and high speed travel and all of the luxuries we have now, it was possible to go a great deal of time without seeing or talking to your darling.  A locket was therefore an especially prized piece of jewelry.  It was intensely personal, signifying in many ways the connection between the wearer and the person in the image.

Horse Lockets

Antique horse lockets are great.  Check out these three great lockets we’ve just added to the collection. Lovers of Victorian era jewelry will love the petite rose gold horseshoe locket: it’s small but packed with style and sentiment. Check it out! The ivy motif that surrounds the horseshoe is a Victorian symbol of constancy and fidelity: a sweet way to mark the most special connection!

This gold and onyx locket has dramatic appeal. One side is designed to look like the underside of a horse’s hoof, set with black onyx. The reverse features an exquisitely detailed horseshoe carving in hematite. This is a locket for a bold wearer, who appreciates quality Deco design and one of a kind styling.

And this antique gold filled horse locket is absolutely super! The locket itself is rose gold, with an exquisitely detailed yellow gold horse’s head on the top. Decorative flowers with green gold leaves add a feminine touch.  This is a beautiful, one of a kind piece that’s ideal for a one of a kind horsewoman! There’s room on the back for engraving, making this locket even more personal.

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!
