Equestrian Themed Jewelry for National “I Love Horses” Day

Did you know that July 15 is National “I Love Horses” Day? If you are an avid rider, you probably do not need a special day to express your appreciation for these amazing animals. For those who would love to show their admiration for the horse with equestrian-themed jewelry, we have a collection of pieces that is ideal.

Gold Horse Stirrup Money Clip from the 1940s 



Suitable for year-round use, this 14k yellow gold money clip measures 35.3mm in width and 50mm in height. Its depth of 6mm lets it fit perfectly into your wallet, purse, or pocket. The beautifully polished lines of the stirrup catch the eye.

1930s Horse-shaped Pin with Seed Pearls and Diamonds 



We date this pin’s manufacture to the 1930s. Its body consists of 14k yellow gold. A cabochon-cut ruby measures 1.37mm and is the eye. Six round diamonds weigh a combined .04cts and make up the tack decor. Artisans used 100 seed pearls that measure between 0.5mm and 1.5mm to stud the horse’s body. Their silvery white color accentuates the beauty of the gold. From top to bottom, the horse pin measures 24.03mm; from side the side, the measurement is 24.62mm.

3D Horse and Jockey Pin in Gold with Enamel and Functioning Parts 



It is fair to say that this pin is a work of art. Artisans used 18k yellow gold that they worked into the likeness of a trotter and jockey. The texturing heightens the sense of realism. White, red, and blue enameling provides the colors. The wheels of the contraption turn. At a length of 46mm and a height of 22mm, this pin is a marvelous addition to your wardrobe.

Late Victorian Pink Gold and Red Garnet Horseshoe Pendant 



This Victorian masterpiece is most likely a British jewel from the 1890s. The upturned horseshoe consists of 12k pink gold that nestles 17 cabochon cut, round garnets with red to brown tones. They weigh a total of 2.50cts. The pendant hangs from a 14k pink gold chain with a length of 18.25 inches. The pendant measures 24.97mm in width and 31.34mm in height. Wear this attractive necklace to the boardroom, for a night out with friends, or just because.

Victorian Horseshoe Pendant in Green Gold with Diamonds 



A slight variation on the theme, this Victorian horseshoe pendant comes from the 1880s. It features 14k pink and green gold. Seven rose-cut diamonds present with different sizes and weights. Wear this pendant with the accompanying 16-inch necklace. The upturned horseshoe measures 23.69mm tall and 19.99mm wide.
