Horse Bits

I like to come up with rather silly and inappropriate challenges for myself--just for kicks. Newest challenge: only buy jewelry with a "horse" theme. I think it's fitting for someone who goes by "The Clothes Horse" to have an arsenal of horse themed jewelry, plus there are so many fun options. In addition, it should make life easier for friends and family: what to buy TCH? "Oh yes, she's trying to build a horse jewelry collection..." See? Making life simpler and more fun for everyone...
Here's a few of the many finds I like at Etsy. And yes, one is technically a unicorn, but for that beauty, I will let semantics slide... Click on the picture to be redirected to the seller's store.

I just so happened to be browsing your site as this was posted.

This is a smashing idea! Having all that different horse jewelry will be great for layering. It will become your trademark. I like the pin with the horsehead on a girl in a dress the best.

love it!

cause i am a girL said...

that ring is just sooooo amazing!

Dapper Kid said...

Wonderful idea :) I do love the necklace and the gold earrings are absolutely stunning!

the freelancer's fashionblog said...

Haha, that's quite a why not?-idea so why not. How many pieces of horse jewellery do you have by now; did you have some from before or are you starting form scratch? That ring is pretty cool.

what a cute assortment of horses!

Penny said...

what a fantastic idea! i love things with horses, fawns and owls.

Miss Woo said...

I think the tapestry horse badge is very befitting of a gorgeous Clothes Horse indeed ;)

WendyB said...

Cute unicorn ring.

Ida said...

CoutureCarrie said...

Horse + Unicorn bits are what Ashe Mischief's are made of! I love so so many of these pieces; they'd be great compliments to my own horse & unicorn jewelry pieces.

Jill said...

With choicecs like those, it doesn't seem the slightest bit restricting. Big fan of the uniocorn piece myself!

jayne said...

hehe cute

KATLIN said...

That ring rules!! And I love those two pins! People get me Egypt stuff if they don't know what to buy for me!

Mimi said...

Haha freaky right now I'm watching 'Dreamer' it's a film about horses. The bracelet with the black/white broche is my favorite.

copperoranges said...

my mom collected rocking horses when she was a little girl, so i have a gold rockinghorse necklace that's really sweet. i like that bracelet!

Savvy Mode SG said...

there is just something so beautiful about horse. i can't describe it but very moving to see them galloping in nature.

Inside the Cabinet of Wonder said...

miss fashion said...

Mikkle said...

lisa said...

I thought the unicorn ring was a brass knuckle shaped like a herd of horses until I clicked the picture. Neat!

Chic Looks said...

I love horses and Unicorns, my favourite are the silver bracelet, the ear-rings and badge is ever so cute.

annah-logue said...

Miss Karen said...

all these pieces are fabulous. I've always been a major fan of unicorns ever since I was a little kid so I'm glad you included one :D

Nature Grafitti said...

i adore all these pieces... especially that multi-finger ring!! drool

beccajanie said...

great idea! I love that cameo-ish horse bracelet!

Kitty said...

That's a lovely idea. I don't think I could stick to something like this, but of course it helps that unicorns are included. Perhaps Pegasus as well? :)

Imelda said...

I'm not really a fan of horses, but I've seen some really nice pieces in this post!

lara said...

I didn't know that horses jewelery can look that good , cute stuff :)!

Sunniva said...

THE HOUSE OF STYLE said...

I like the race horse necklace so much, now I'm in the store:)the badge looks also nice but it seemed expensive,no need.for almost a year I bought 'butterfly' jewellery, but thanks that's it!:>
horses are very beautiful animals:>

Sassy said...

Thank you dear!

I think your idea is really fun! horse jewelry can be really cute! Are you allowed to buy unicorns as well?

Daiane said...

oooh i love the idea, i should also pick a theme and go for it. great inspiration!

pretty face said...

oooh I wonder how long that will lasy, but a clever idea. And there are certainly some equestrian treasures to be found. You should get some riding boots too!

AsianCajuns said...

You always find the best stuff on Etsy! Tempting... very tempting...

Babka said...

Wow, Great things, I want them all

Shay said...

cute stuff! You should add a couple unicorns, I think they still fit the horse theme. ;)

olive said...

i have that horse bracelet! so obviously i love this idea :) adorevintage.com?

Nothing Elegant said...

I am a complete sucker for animal motifs -- these are too cute.

Milla said...

horsies! oh horsies!

Shen-Shen said...

How fitting for your name!

I adore that unicorn ring, although in that picture they look like very pretty brass knuckles!

Snowshoe said...

i have a pair of horsey earrings that i made ages ago. i have half a mind to send them your way. they are waaay long and dangly though, as i was in a long dangly phase.

kokostiletto said...

oh wow what a cool project! it's like being a kid again, when you used to have collections...

Jill Sherman said...

those rings are AMAZING!

Noël said...

Those unicorn rings are so fun!

crispybenfranklin said...

I love the bracelet and the unicorn rings. Horses make a good subject for jewelry, methinks.

Christina Lee said...

I applaud you for the things you try- although the ring is my fave of the pictures I could not find myself wearing any of these and that is what makes you uniquely you :)

AlicePleasance said...

Great! You know, I heart animal jewelry :-)
