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.

Year of the Horse Jewelry: A Guide to Meaning and Timeless Style

The Symbolism of the Horse

In Chinese tradition, 2026 marks the Year of the Fire Horse, a rare combination that occurs once every 60 years. The Fire Horse is associated with passion, ambition and vitality, while the expression ma dao cheng gong—"may you achieve success upon your horse's arrival"—reflects a wish for good fortune and accomplishment. Inspired by these qualities, horse motifs have remained a timeless theme in fine jewelry, celebrating the beauty of the horse and the enduring values it represents.

For centuries, the horse has represented strength, freedom and unwavering loyalty. Across cultures, it has been admired for its beauty, courage and the unique bond it shares with people. As the seventh sign of the Chinese zodiac, it represents energy, confidence and forward movement. Following the quiet reflection of the Year of the Snake, the Year of the Horse is seen as a time to embrace new opportunities with purpose and optimism.

Choosing the Perfect Horse Jewelry

The best horse jewelry is the piece that means something to you. It might remind you of a horse you'll never forget, celebrate your love of riding or simply reflect the beauty and elegance of these remarkable animals. That is why equestrian jewelry has such lasting appeal—it becomes part of your story.

There are so many beautiful ways to wear fine horse jewelry. A diamond horse gold ring makes a striking statement, while a horseshoe necklace or horse pendant is easy to wear every day. If you prefer something more understated, horse diamond stud earrings add a subtle equestrian touch that works with almost anything.

When choosing your piece, think about the materials as much as the design. Gold horse jewelry in 18karat yellow or rose gold has a timeless warmth, while white gold offers a clean, elegant finish. If you're looking for something truly distinctive, bespoke diamond horse jewelry featuring a custom-cut diamond combines exceptional craftsmanship with a design you won't find anywhere else.

The most meaningful jewelry is not always the most elaborate. It is the piece you reach for every day because it reminds you of a place, a moment or a horse that will always be part of your life. That's what makes fine horse jewelry so special—it carries a story long after it has been put on.

Equestrian Jewelry Gifts

The most memorable gifts are the ones that carry meaning. For someone who loves horses, horse jewelry is more than a beautiful object—it is a reminder of the moments, memories and friendships that only horses can create. Whether it's given for a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or the Year of the Horse, it is a gift that will be worn long after the occasion has passed.

From a classic horseshoe necklace to a bespoke diamond horse ring, equestrian jewelry celebrates a passion that often lasts a lifetime. Whether you're searching for horse lover gifts, elegant horse jewelry gifts or a meaningful keepsake to honor a special horse, a handcrafted piece in gold or platinum becomes a lasting expression of that connection.

Custom Horse Jewelry

Some stories deserve to be captured in a piece made just for you. Our bespoke service allows you to create custom horse jewelry inspired by your own horse, using our customized hand-cut horse head diamond. Each diamond is individually cut in a range of sizes before being set into a design created especially for you.

Why Horse Jewelry Never Goes Out of Style

Horse jewelry has a timeless appeal that comes from the enduring beauty of the horse itself. Worn by riders, collectors and horse lovers around the world, each piece reflects a passion that often lasts a lifetime. Beautifully crafted in gold or platinum, it becomes part of everyday life carrying memories, traditions and moments that remain meaningful for years to come.
