When You Think of Horse Jewelry, What Comes to Mind?
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) The Strength of the Horse. Horses have been asked to perform man’s most menial tasks for years and years. Consider the workhorses like the Clydesdale. They can plow the fields all day long and still find time to pull those famous Budweiser Wagons. Jewelry that incorporates the horse design will exude the strength and shear power of this magnificent animal. This form of jewelry is very popular 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) The Nobility of the Horse. Years ago, during the Middle Ages, knights would often deck themselves out in full battle armor and ride along on their horses. What emblem was etched into their shields? The emblem of a horse of course. How did the peasants get around? By foot…no horse…no armor…and no shield (let alone one with a horse design). If we fast forward to our world today we see that people of high-ranking are often honored with horse jewelry (such as gold brooches and medallions). Rings are another example of jewelry that is often awarded to others as a sign of their “high social class” or “nobility”.
What is the main reason a person would wear horse jewelry? They love their horse, that’s the main reason. They want to show this love of the animal off to others. Sure they have to work or study or shop or play, but this doesn’t mean they can’t show the love of their favorite animal off to others while they do.
