Welcome to " Beautiful Jewelry with a Horse-Theme"

Welcome to our website, BeautifulHorseJewelry.com, where we will be discussing all types of jewelry with a horse-theme.  Broaches, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, etc…you name it, we will be dealing with it all.  Let's get started by giving a bit of a background to these wonderful pieces of jewelry.

Jewelry with horses on it has fascinated people throughout the ages, from all the way back to the ancient times, to our present era today.  Families would often incorporate the design of the horse into their jewelry, and make these pieces out of various precious metals, such as gold, silver, and diamonds.  Often passed down from generation to generation, they became valuable keepsakes.

So, why the need or desire to incorporate an "animal" into the precious jewelry that you own, love, and show?  Well, the horse is symbolic of very desirable traits…traits that we all hope to possess.  What are these traits?  They are:

a)  Grace – A horse is a very graceful creature.  Just watch them run along a beautiful meadow.  Every muscle and tissue of their being seems uniquely manufactured to perform the task…making it run.  A beautiful streamlined creature, they are the heart's desire of many a young girl.  Especially telling is horse jewelry involving diamonds.  A diamond is known as a gemstone of elegance and class…one that marries perfectly with equestrian design.

b)  Strength – Along with the grace of the animal is the strength.  Throughout the ages horses have been used to perform many duties for man.  Consider the work horses like the Clydesdale.  They are graceful and beautiful, yes, but also strong and powerful enough to pull those famous Budweiser Wagons.  A piece of jewelry that incorporate the horse design can exude the power and strength of the animal.  These forms of jewelry are especially popular as gifts to that special man in your life.

c)  Nobility -  What a noble create the horse is.  In the middle ages knights rode horses, fully armored, with horse designs incorporated into their shields.  What did the peasants do?  They walked along side them…no horse, no armor, and no shields…let alone one with a horse design.  Fast forward to today, where people of high ranking are often honored with horse jewelry, particularly gold brooches and medallions, with the design of a horse's head engraved into the piece.  Rings with the design of a horse's head are often awarded as a sign of "higher social class" or "nobility".

We have up til now left out the main reason people wear horse jewelry.  Do you know what that is?  It's merely that they love horses, and want to show this love of the animal off to the world.  They have to work, have to study, have to go here and there, but that doesn't mean that they can't show their love of their horses via their jewelry.
