Sapphire Horse Jewelry

September 17, 2012 by Alison Greene

Sapphire is September’s birthstone.  Many people love Sapphires for their vibrant blue color. Did you know that there are many myths and legends surrounding sapphires?

Not only are sapphires amazing set in fine horse jewelry, they’re thought to protect the wearer against envy and jealousy.

According to legend, if you immerse a snake in a vessel full of water and a sapphire, the snake will die. Personally, we can’t vouch for the truth of this, because if there’s a snake in the barn, the first thought is to get the snake out of the barn, not go running for the jewelry box!

Back in the day, people would grind up sapphires and use them as medicine for colic, rheumatism, mental illness and weak eyesight. Again, not recommended. Eating sapphires seems far more likely to cause an upset stomach than to cure one.  It’s much better to wear sapphire horse jewelry!

We love this 14K Gold Ribbon Pendant with diamonds and sapphire. It’s shown slightly larger in the picture so you can see the detail. In real life, it’s 7/8″ long – just under an inch.  Lots of sparkle and shine. The blue ribbon design is perfect for any champion. It’s a great gift for your favorite competitor, a beloved coach, or to reward yourself!

Check out these sapphire horse earrings. The 14K Gold Stirrup Stud Earrings with Diamond and Sapphire feature a center sapphire that sparkles brilliant and four lovely diamonds on the stirrup tread. They’re slightly more than a half-inch long: just big enough to make a statement about your love for horses and your personal style without being too overwhelming. These earrings remain one of our best sellers, as people just love them. They’re appropriate for every occasion.

Oh the summer night

Has a smile of light

And she sits on a sapphire throne…

– Barry Cornwall, English Poet

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!
