Victorian Horse Jewelry: Timeless Appeal, Classic Emotion

May 31, 2009 by Alison Greene Leave a Comment

victorian-horse-head-fobPassionate about animal rights?  Love history?  If you can answer yes to both of those questions, victorian horse jewelry might hold a special appeal for you.  The Victorian era was about style, grace, and — especially guided by the female thought leaders of the time — kindness.  It was during the Victorian era that we first start to see concern for the welfare of all animals — and particularly horses, which provided humanity with both transport and freight moving services.  From that beginning, compassion and care for horses have been part of many of your lives.

We know that many of our readers are involved in animal rescue, special-case adoption, fostering, and rehabilitation of injured horses.  Taking the love of horses above and beyond in this fashion is admirable — just as our Victorian predecessors advocated for better care of the horses in their time, you are helping transform the way that we, and all of society, sees horses.

You can see the Victorians’ love of horses in their Victorian Equestrian jewelry.  For example, take a look at this Victorian Gold Bridled Horse Head Fob Pendant.  Once again, we see the  noble horse ready to carry a rider — but from the fine form, animated spirit, and sheer energy of the art, clearly a horse healthy and eager for the task!  A heavy, gold filled piece, this pendant is bold and dynamic, classic to complement every outfit. Blank on the back, it can easily be engraved with a name — or perhaps a date to commemorate a special occassion.

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!
