When You Think of Horse Jewelry, What Comes to Mind?

November 13th, 2009 Barb Jackson Comments off

People have been fascinated with horse jewelry (jewelry with horses on it) throughout the ages. From the most ancient of days to our present era today, families would often incorporate the image of a horse into their jewelry. Usually made from precious metals and gems, such as gold, silver, and diamonds, they were often passed down from generation to generation. They became valuable keepsakes.

Where does this come from? This desire to incorporate a mere "animal" into precious jewelry that will be owned, loved, and shown to others? It's not too hard to fathom when we think of the horse, an animal with a number of desirable traits that that we all hope to possess in our own character. These traits are:

1) Horses are Strong. Throughout the ages horses have been asked to perform many of man's most menial tasks. We need to think no further than the noble Clydesdale. It can spend all day plowing the fields, and then find time to pull the famous Budweiser Wagon. Any jewelry that incorporates the design of the horse will exude the shear power and strength of this wonderful animal. This form of jewelry is a very popular gift item amongst men.

2) Grace - When one thinks of grace, the horse often comes to mind. When you watch them gallop along a beautiful meadow you cannot help but think of grace. Every muscle and tissue of their being seems focused on pulling this magnificent animal across the field. Beautifully streamlined, these creatures are the heart's desire of many a young girl. A special marriage is made when you add diamonds into the mix. A diamond, known for it's elegance and class, is one that marries perfectly with equestrian design.

3) Nobility - What a noble creature the horse is. During the Middle Ages, knights decked out in full battle armor rode horses with the symbol of the horse incorporated into their shields. And how did the peasants get around? They walked along side their knights no horse, no armor, and no shield let alone one with a horse design. Let's fast forward to our world today. People of high-ranking are often honored with horse jewelry, particularly gold brooches and medallions. Rings with the design of a horse's head are often awarded to others as a sign of "higher social class" or "nobility".

We have left til now the main reason that people wear horse jewelry. Do you know what it is? It's because they love this magnificent animal. Sure, like you and I, they have to go to work or school, shop or play, but that doesn't mean that they can't display their love of horses to the world.
