looking for custom horse hair jewelry recommendations

I’ve been holding onto a section of hair from my previous horse’s tail and have been waiting for the right time to make a special keepsake from it. There’s plenty to work with, def enough for a bracelet. Has anyone ever seen horse hair incorporated into a belt buckle design, I think that would be really cool.

Please share contact info for who you like to use. Would also love to see pics of your favorite designs. TIA!

Pony Locks does a very nice job at very reasonable prices. Other favs: Suzanne Storms and nannasalmi. Google all for web sites. :slight_smile:

Twisted Tails, Solenaro Designs and Suzanne Storms all do beautiful pieces, I have seen several of them in person and would highly recommend them.

High Hopes Designs. She made a beautiful square braid bracelet with silver out of my mare’s tail hair. She has many different types of braids and bracelets, key chains, etc. http://www.highhopesdesigns.com/

Thanks for your ideas Melissa, BAC, and Brooke!

I second the vote for Ponylocks - http://www.ponylocks.com/jewelry-showcase.htm. I had a bracelet made several years ago and have worn it everyday since - through all the horse stuff, just wash it with shampoo every once in a while (grey hair) I can’t believe how sturdy and well made it is, it’s still in perfect condition.

By far the most beautiful horsehair jewelry I have ever seen

I have a ring and stock pin that she made from my horse’s tail and they are gorgeous. She was dream to work with and delivered on time

Galla designs in Ontario did two for me for Christmas. They are truly beautiful and she has so many options.

I had a beautiful (and very reasonably priced) bracelet made from SC Equine: http://www.scequine.com

Love Her work, We have gotten several Memory Bracelets made from her

COTH’s own SpacyTracy makes beautiful pieces - I have several from her and have commissioned several others (the white ones in her current profile pic).

I had a watch made for my mom by Pony Locks and it is beautiful! I would definitely recommend them.

Sounds like I have many options to choose from–thx again for the recommendations!

I vote for nannasalmi or House of Salmi. I have a lovely set of ring, bracelet and earrings that combine my passed away mare and her daughters hair.

Makes gorgeous, quality pieces! Check out the stud earrings, those are unique for most horse hair jewelry makers.
