Christmas Countdown: Gifts for the Horse Lover

The best holiday gifts for horse lovers are those that are individually selected to match the recipient's style and personality. We won't kid you: we think all of the fine horse jewelry in the Show Stable Artisan collection is beautiful - but individually, some pieces are more beautiful than others. Horse jewelry is at its most beautiful when it matches the wearer's overall look.

This large horseshoe on leather neckpiece, for example, is perfect for the horselover who has a bold yet casual style. It looks great with an open neckline, or paired with a turtleneck or sweater. The horseshoe itself is a good size: 1 3/4" wide and a full 2" tall. Budget friendly, this neckpiece could easily become your loved one's signature piece of jewelry. It's a great holiday gift!

Here's another look at the same idea, made for a wearer with a different sense of style. The Large Horseshoe on Freshwater Pearl Necklace features a slightly smaller, handmade sterling silver horseshoe, presented on a 17" long white freshwater pearl necklace. Each freshwater pearl is 10mm: stylishly impressive without being too much. Great from the boardroom to the ballroom and beyond! A very romantic gift.

And for a third look, check out this Tiffany-style choker. This time the horseshoe appears in 14k gold, mounted on a sterling silver tag. The chain is adorably chunky: this look gets a lot of attention and compliments. It's a great choice for the fashion-forward girl who likes bold style and high quality craftsmanship. Made in the USA, always important! Make the gift even more personally by having your recipient's name (or their horse's name!) engraved on the back.

As you can see, each of these necklaces took one concept and presented it in a different way. Each one will appeal to a different wearer - maybe they're the perfect gift for someone you know!
