Silver Horse Jewelry Spotlight: Horse Pins

January 8, 2012 by Alison Greene Leave a Comment

Happy New Year!  Here we are, in the first days of 2012. Let’s start things off with taking a look at some great silver horse jewelry. One of the things you really have to love about silver is its versatility: silver can pull off the  most elegant, modern sleek shine, or with time develop a lovely patina.That patina is a particular favorite of many horse jewelry lovers.

Check out this sterling silver greyhound and horseshoe pin. This is a great piece of antique horse jewelry.  It’s fashioned in the Art Deco style – a time when greyhounds became fashion icons! – and is exquisitely detailed.  We’ve enlarged the picture a little bit so you can see the ornate markings on the horseshoes and the detailed greyhound.  The pin is 1 3/4″ long and 1″ wide – it looks great on jacket lapels!

Here’s another great piece of antique horse jewelry. (Curious about how to find great antique horse jewelry? Collectors often check estate sales, auctions, and of course, online jewelery stores to find their treasures!) This Art Deco Sterling Silver Happy Horse and Hound pin is full of a vibrant, dynamic energy that makes it fun to wear.  Look at the flowing mane, streaming tail, and flying hooves. Can’t you just picture this noble steed flying over the landscape, running as fast as he can go? (Maybe there’s somebody standing at the fence with carrots in their pocket…)  The dog is just as happy, running alongside as fast as he can.  What great friendships happen in the barnyard.

Are you searching for a perfect piece of jewelry for the polo player? This Vintage Sterling Silver Hackney Horse pin is a great choice.  It’s exquisitely detailed, a perfect portrayal of the restrained energy and elegance that is a polo pony.  Behind the pony, a sterling silver polo mallet. This is a great piece of vintage horse jewelry that will be appreciated by any polo player!

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!
