Equestrian keepsake jewelry allows horse lovers and riders to permanently celebrate their unique bond with their horses by wearing a custom piece made from their horse’s actual tail or mane hair. Brands specialize in distinct structural styles—ranging from rigid bangles and inlaid cuffs to flexible braided bracelets—often paired with sterling silver, gold, or custom engraving.
Equestrian Keepsake Styles
Bangles: Structured, sleek loops that encircle the wrist, usually featuring an equestrian metal focal point like a snaffle bit or horseshoe. The horsehair is typically inlaid or wrapped inside a dedicated groove along the band. Equestrian Keepsake Styles
Cuffs: Open-backed, semi-rigid bracelets that can be gently adjusted to slide directly onto the wrist. They usually showcase a continuous channel of flat or fishtail braided horsehair flush with a heavy metal frame.

How to Order Custom Keepsake Jewelry
- Choose a Style: Decide between a flexible braided bracelet, an open cuff, or a solid, structured bangle
- Collect the Hair: Clip a small lock of tail hair (usually 10 to 12 inches long and roughly the thickness of a pencil) from the underside of the dock.
- Secure and Ship: Bind the hair with a rubber band, seal it in a clearly labeled plastic bag, and mail it directly to the studio's design address.
