Horse Hair Jewelry Is A Unique Treasure

By Helga Stokes


There is often a very special bond between a person and an equine partner. When such a partner passes away, the feelings of grief and loss can be enormous. An item of horse hair jewelry can help ease this sense of loss. One does not have to wait till death occurs to have such an item made, as it is created out of a small sample taken from the tail. Anyone who loves horses will appreciate a gift of this nature.

There are many different items that can be made from such a sample. Necklaces, bracelets and key chains are some of the most common items. The sample is usually used to create a braid. This forms the chain and then other items may be attached to it, from pendants of silver to charms, crystals and even precious stones. Sometimes the sample is encased in a resin toggle and attached to a silver or gold chain.

As many suppliers are lovers of horses, they understand the sensitivity of the task they are undertaking. They take great care with what they have been entrusted with. They are often prepared to customize items according to the special requirements of a customer.

It is possible to place orders with online suppliers. As there are many people offering this service, it is important to read online reviews to find out what other customers have experienced. Going online also offers the opportunity of looking carefully through all the choices offered, comparing prices and making an informed decision.

Many different styles are available and photographs of these are displayed on the websites. For example, if you decide you want a necklace, you will be able to choose from various different ways of braiding the sample and many different types of pendants. If you want a bracelet, you may decide to have it made with silver or gold and engraved. Decide on a key chain and you can choose from different charms to attach to it.

Collecting a sample is not difficult and suppliers give clear instructions on what they require as regards length and width. The sample is usually taken from a place where it is not missed and the thickness required is about the width of an adult thumb. The length varies according to the item to be made. Binding the sample with a rubber band is suggested. This is then sent to the supplier where it is cleaned before use.

The supplier will need various details from you, such as the name of your animal and whether it is still with you or has passed on. This helps to make their service more personal. Wrist measurements will be needed if a bracelet is to be made.

Horse hair jewelry provides a way of remembering those special moments with a treasured friend. These items are affordable to most and make a lovely gift for a horse-loving friend or family member. Although nothing can replace an equine partner, many customers testify that wearing such a memento helps to provide some form of comfort in remembering the treasured memories made together.
