What makes a great Father’s Day gift? I think if you polled 100 Dads and asked them that question, almost all of them would agree that the most fabulous presents are those that come from the heart and are personally meaningful.  Of course, you’ll always get that Dad who says all he wants is a new bass boat – but we’ll worry about him next year

We’re pretty sure that there’s a Dad out there who would really enjoy this Men’s Grooming Kit. It contains all of the essentials: scissors, razor, nail clippers, toothbrush, comb, and screwdriver. On the top, three tired hounds are taking a well-deserved snooze.  Add a little bit of elegance to Dad’s everyday with this gift!

Best of all, this kit is on sale! So is this Men’s Grooming Kit featuring a beautiful chestnut horse.

Another option, which is similar but not exactly the same, is this Portable Office. If your Dad loves Golden Retrievers -  maybe he even has a few of his own – he’ll love this gorgeous kit that contains a box opener, staple remover, pen, tape measure, and scissors.  These portable offices are very popular with Dads who spend a lot of time on the road: working out of a briefcase doesn’t mean having to go without the essentials – or the style!

Horse Jewelry For Father’s Day

Horse jewelry can make a great Father’s Day gift.  When you’re shopping for horse jewelry for men, you’ve got a range of options.  Rings are always popular, especially gold horseshoe rings.  Don’t forget about the old-school style of money clips! Horse cuff links are another great option, especially suited to the elegant Dad.

Make sure to let Dad know you love him.  That’s the best gift of all!

We also all have a need to celebrate those moments.  Achieving a life goal is a big deal.  It may be the sort of big deal that not everyone knows about – after all, we may not want to advertise the fact that we’ve quit smoking or worked up the nerve to finally confront the boss who’s been making our lives miserable – but it’s still something that we need to acknowledge, at least to ourselves.

Many people have special pieces of jewelry they wear to remind them of great things they’ve achieved, promises they’ve made to themselves or others, or to celebrate a life’s triumph. This is a tradition that goes back centuries.   Rings are especially sentimental: we wear rings to mark marriages, engagements, and sometimes the birth of children.

We think this sterling silver twist horseshoe nail ring is a great example of a ring that can be worn to mark a personal achievement. Sometimes you have to be tough as nails to make it in this world – but that doesn’t mean we can’t still be beautiful! This ring is simple yet stunning, with a modern feel, reminiscent of many favorite Gucci pieces. Wear it to remember the great things you’ve done and the amazing things you’re going to do!

Compare that to the perhaps more typical good time enjoyed by some counterparts — more typical, perhaps, but less active.  We all have friends, colleagues, or acquaintances who go through life with immaculately manicured nails and dazzling rings with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other gems sparkling in high-profile, delicate settings.

Have you ever watched those folks try to scratch that itchy spot just under a horse’s mane? How about bending over and checking to see if there’s a stone caught in a hoof? Or simply reaching to close the paddock gate?

Life with horses can be rough on rings.  Delicate settings catch and break, sending your stones to the ground — good luck finding your diamonds in a muddy paddock!

Yet loving horses doesn’t preclude our desire to look good all of the time. That’s why we spend so much time searching out what we call Rider Rings Rider Rings are ideal for everyday wear — even by the most active horse people! An emphasis on design and quality is essential: when you’re not relying on the theatrical affect of high settings and lacy open prongs, you need the innate beauty of the gold, silver, or platinum to shine through.  Lower profile rings don’t catch — you can scoop grain with confidence and straighten the tack room without worrying about damaging your jewelry.  Appropriate in every setting, you can take these rings from barn to ballroom, looking stylish and distinctive the whole time! (They work in the office, grocery store and while you’re out to dinner as well!)

You don’t have to choose between your horses and your rings.  You can have both. You just need to select rings that work in the demanding barn environment.  And that means rider rings!

This Victorian 14k Rose Gold and Pearl Horseshoe Ring is a stunning example. This sensational piece has 11 round pearls, each with beautiful luster. The pearls are prong set into a horseshoe shape with an elaborate raised and cut-out side gallery. On either side of the horseshoe setting is an attractive etched design. This is a special piece of antique equestrian jewelry. Not only does it combine the elegance of pearls with elaborate design work, it incorporates the classic horsehoe motif in a way any horse lover would consider themselves lucky to wear.

Many stunning pieces of estate jewelry featuring horses also incorporate the horseshoe motif. The beauty of estate and antique jewelry, particularly horse jewelry, is how unique and well-crafted the pieces are. Consider this Antique Rose Gold Horseshoe Ring Like the previous piece, this lovely ring features the horseshoe motif and intricate detail work. In fact, the band of this ring is a riding crop! The ring also features 17 turquoise stones — making this ring irresistable to any true fan of turquoise jewelry.  This is the real deal, too — not the cheap stuff you’ll find sold in tourist traps!  Circa 1885, this gold ring has a fantastic rose gold patina that would look superb with any skin tone.

Both rings are size 6.5, and both are surprisingly affordable. If you’re just starting to collect horse jewelry they’re great pieces to begin with. If you’ve been collecting for years, both pieces are strong enough and unique enough to enhance any collection. Don’t miss out on these special rings for horse lovers!

Maybe you’re not getting married — but you’re still searching for the quintessential rider’s ring, a stunning piece in gold and diamonds that captures both your personal sense of style and your passion for horses?

Nothing says unique like antique jewelry. You’re not going to find a ring like this at a chain jewelers.  Notice the rope style twisted wire band, so very attractive in 9k gold.  In the center, a delicately worked horsehoe surrounding a faceted ruby: the perfect symbol for an avid horsewoman!  And if she happens to have a July birthday, so much the better…although rubies are also a great symbol for anyone with a passionate heart.

This ring is truly one of a kind.  A size 6, it’s made for tiny fingers, and will look stunning on a delicate hand.  Appropriate for all settings, this truly can be the gift that takes her breath away.
