Equine Jewelry
The beauty of the horse and the expression of that admiration by mankind is traceable to the oldest paintings known by man, found on the walls of caves, in France: the Chavet Caves of Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc, the earliest known cave paintings. There preserved with great clarity are delicate drawing of horses. The beauty of horses, the love man has always felt toward them has resulted in a non interrupted line of creativity that has drawn on horses for inspiration in home decorations, accessories, painting, drawings, prints and sculpture. One does not need to ride or own a horse to wear and love equine jewelry. Whether it be estate jewelry or a contemporary casual adornment, there is the field of choice available for the buyer. Today as it has been for centuries, equine jewelry can be found made of precious metals, and can include fine gems.
The most common form of horse jewelry is a necklace with a horse pendant incorporated. Bracelets, earrings, rings and charms are also popular. Pins and cufflinks are also often bought. Fortunately, while one can spend a small fortune, for those seeking fun pieces that will just bring a burst of style to what they want to wear, but not bust their budget, it is also possible to find charming pieces of horse inspired jewelry. We hope you enjoy your search and that some of these sites serve to help you find what you seek. To start with something old and something new,let us acknowledge the famous French House of Hermes. Hermes launched a new line of equestrian inspired fine jewelry in April, 2010 by Pierre Hardy. For those searching estate pieces, you might look into the site, Equesterianjewelry.com.

SNAZUK: "I love to ride and judge dressage tests, trail ride, and
compete in several dog sports with my Bouviers. I also have an avid
passion for quality equine motif jewelry and other sundry horse
"stuff". Along the way I discovered the Kabana Equestrian Collection.
So many other riders asked where they too could find Kabana Jewelry
that I decided to start Snazzy Horse Stuff. Nearly 10 years later
Kabana is still the premiere Equestrian Jewelry Collection. Arago
Design's Snazzy Horse Stuff remains the only place many Kabana pieces
are even available online. Snazzyhorsestuff.com |
