FAQ
Everything you need to know about equestrian & horse jewelry
How do I begin designing a custom piece?
The process begins with a conversation. Share your ideas or inspiration and we will guide you through every stage, from the sketches to the finished piece. Whether you have a clear vision or are just getting tarted, we'll help create a design that is uniquely yours.
Is bespoke horse jewelry handmade?
Yes. Our every equestrian bespoke piece is handcrafted from start to finish. The horse head diamonds are individually mapped and hand cut, a highly specialized process that requires exceptional skill and precision. Once completed, each diamond is carefully set into a handcrafted design, with every detail finished by hand to create a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
Can I change the design during the process?
Absolutely. Every custom project is collaborative. During the design stage, we can refine proportions, adjust details and explore different design options until you are completely happy with the final design. You will receive CAD renderings for review and approval before production begins. Once the CAD design has been approved and production starts, no further
design changes can be made, as every piece is created exclusively for your commission.
How long does it take to create a custom horse jewelry piece?
Most custom equestrian jewelry takes between 6 and 10 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the design. Every piece begins with sketches or CAD renderings, followed by the creation of the custom-cut horse head diamond and the handcrafting of the finished jewelry.
Can I choose the size of the center diamond?
Absolutely. Every piece is made to order, so the center horse head diamond can be created in a variety of carat weights. Whether you envision a delicate pendant or a bold statement ring, we will recommend proportions that best suit the design.
Can I choose the metal?
Yes. Every piece can be handcrafted in platinum, 18 karat yellow gold, white gold or rose gold. We can also create beautiful two-tone designs by combining different gold colors.
Can you make more than rings?
Certainly. Our custom horse head diamonds can be incorporated into rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, cufflinks and other bespoke jewelry. Each piece is designed specifically for the wearer and handcrafted in our workshop.
Can I use natural diamonds instead of lab-grown diamonds?
Yes. While our signature horse head diamonds are most often created using lab-grown diamonds, we can discuss natural diamonds or other gemstones depending on your design requirements.
Can I choose a gemstone instead of a diamond?
Certainly. While our signature horse head cut is available in lab-grown diamond, we can also create bespoke equestrian jewelry featuring sapphires, black diamonds or other colored gemstones as part of the design. We are happy to discuss the best options.
Can you engrave my jewelry?
Yes. We offer hand engraving on many of our bespoke pieces. Initials, dates, names or a short meaningful message can make your jewelry even more personal.
Do I receive a CAD rendering before the ring is made?
Yes. Before production begins, you will receive detailed CAD renderings of your design for review. This allows you to see the proportions, setting and overall design before the piece is handcrafted.
Will my diamond come with a certificate?
Yes. Every center lab-grown diamond is accompanied by an independent grading report from the International Gemological Institute (IGI). The certificate verifies the diamond's carat weight, color, clarity, proportions and other important characteristics, providing confidence in the quality and authenticity of your diamond.
Will I receive an appraisal with my jewelry?
Yes. Every bespoke commission includes a professional insurance appraisal describing your custom jewelry and its replacement value. This documentation can be used for insurance purposes and becomes part of the permanent record of your piece.
Can I return a custom piece of jewelry?
Because every bespoke commission is created specifically for you, custom-made jewelry is not eligible for return or refund. Each piece is individually designed, handcrafted and often features a custom-cut horse head diamond made exclusively for your commission. We work closely with you throughout the design process, ensuring you are completely happy with the
design before your jewelry is crafted.
Can you create a memorial piece for a beloved horse?
Many clients commission jewelry to honor a horse that has been part of their lives for many years. A bespoke design can become a lasting reminder of that special connection and something to wear every day.
Why is a horse head diamond so special?
Creating a horse head diamond is far more complex than cutting a traditional diamond shape. Every stone is individually planned and precision cut to capture the elegant profile of a horse while preserving exceptional brilliance. The result is a diamond found nowhere else, created
exclusively for bespoke equestrian jewelry.
