How to Buy Great Horse Jewelry When You Don’t Know Anything About Jewelry or Horses

“My sister’s 60th birthday is coming up, and I’d really like to buy her a nice piece of jewelry. She really loves horses - which I know nothing about - and it seems like you’re the people who can help me out. So tell me how do you buy great horse jewelry when you don’t know anything about jewelry or horses?”

Horses: The Essential Style Design

You can absolutely find great horse jewelry without being an expert on all things horse. There are certain design motifs - the horse head, the running horse, the horseshoe, the stirrup, the rider’s cap, and so on - that clearly identify a piece of jewelry of being at least potentially of interest to horse lovers.

The more you know about someone’s life with horses, the more closely you can tailor your horse jewelry gift selections for them. For example, if you know someone has a Dutch Warmblood mare, the right horse breed pendant clearly becomes the perfect gift.

Now About the Jewelry Part

Buying jewelry can actually be a lot of fun. Keep things simple for yourself by setting a budget ahead of time, and then browse collections of horse jewelry that are realistically priced. Estate and vintage horse jewelry is simply horse jewelry produced in earlier times, previously owned but still attractive and valuable. Because horses have been part of the human experience for centuries, there’s centuries worth of horse jewelry out there to fall in love with.

Contemporary horse jewelry is the work that’s being produced right now by today’s designers and studios. These can be one of a kind pieces, limited runs, or mass production. All have the potential to serve as a delightful gift.

Buy only from reputable jewelers who are willing to stand behind what they sell.
