This site is about horse jewelry. No matter what type of horse jewelry you’re talking about, this is the place for it. It could be gold, silver, rings, bracelets or earrings, if it belongs in the general category of equestrian jewelry it belongs here.

At one time, the term horse jewelry referred to gold and silver embellishments on saddles, bridles and breastplates. In fact the expression is still used that way in Western Show circles. Really ‘pimp your ride’: That isn’t what we are talking about,though.

For our purposes here, horse jewelry is jewelry with an equestrian theme.

The definition of jewelry needs to be very broad to encompass all the materials that can be used.
High end jewelry can be gold or silver and adorned with precious stones. At the other end of the spectrum, there are novelty items made of plastic or low-grade metals which have a horse theme. In general, I would say if it’s pretty and people wear it then it is jewelry.

Interestingly, the purposes of horse jewelry in our sense are the same as they were in the old.

* Attract attention
* Make a personal impact
* Display your taste and character

Equestrian jewelry for people fulfills one more, very important function: to display your passion for horses!

People who are involved with horses are incredibly passionate about their interest.

Horses are more than a hobby. Horses are a way of life. So it just makes sense to wear some piece of horse jewelry to display your commitment to that path. It’s also a really good filter when meeting people in a social setting. If someone notices your horse jewelry and comments on it, you have probably found another horse lover and will have lots to talk about.
