Equestrian horse hair rings are deeply personal keepsakes crafted by embedding or braiding hair from a beloved horse's tail or mane into a precious metal band. They serve as popular memorial tokens or celebratory jewelry to honor the bond between horse and rider.
Popular Styles & Customization
- Inlaid Bands: The horse hair is tightly braided or woven and set into a recessed center channel around the metal band.
- Sealed Resin Settings: The hair is encased inside a clear, protective resin focal stone or accent slot.
- Equestrian Accents: Many designs incorporate distinct equine motifs like a sterling silver horseshoe, barefoot hoofprint, or custom metal accent sitting directly over the hair braid.
- Metal Choices: Available across various budgets in options ranging from durable tungsten and sterling silver to premium 9ct/14K gold and platinum.
Top Artisans & Brands
- The Treasured Horse: Known for high-quality everyday wear rings, such as the Classic 4mm Inlay Ring or the bolder 10mm Comfort Fit Ring handcrafted in Vermont.
- Verstara Fine Equestrian Jewelry: Offers high-end custom rings like the luxury Verstara Cambridge Ring crafted with custom-poured fine metals.
- Living Horse Tails: Features unique custom options like the Keepsake Style 1 Ring which includes a prong-set gemstone over the hair chamber.
- Etsy Independent Artists: Marketplaces like Etsy's Horse Hair Custom Rings host diverse creators offering budget-friendly tungsten rings or personalized memorial silver bands.
How the Ordering Process Works
- Submit Order & Size: You select your preferred ring band style and size. (Note: Because wide-channeled rings cannot be easily resized later without ruining the braid, jewelers recommend getting professionally sized at a local shop first).
- Harvest the Hair: You gather a small bundle of tail or mane hair (typically about the thickness of a pencil/paintbrush and 6–15 inches long). Secure it with a rubber band, place it in a zip-lock bag, and mail it to the artist.
- Crafting & Return: The jeweler washes, braids, and seals the hair into the ring using a clear protectant. Any unused hair is returned to you alongside the completed jewelry piece.
