CHOOSING THE RIGHT EQUESTRIAN BRACELET

I recently had a customer call me looking for a gift to take to Europe for a young rider. He had randomly chosen a western stirrup bracelet. We chatted for a while and I asked him several questions. This prompted him to change his purchase to an English snaffle bracelet along with a snaffle slide necklace. I included a personalized note to the young rider along with packaging and a gift bag and shipped it over night. When it arrived, he called me to thank me. It was a good experience for both of us.
I really enjoy talking to my customers. Don't always rely on emails....pick up the phone. I can help you find the right gift for the right person! Everyone of my horse bracelets, earrings,pendants, necklaces and rings can be customized!

EQUESTRIAN NECKLACES WITH A SOUTHWESTERN FLAIR




I have been busy creating new equestrian jewelry with a southwestern flair. Combining copper with the earthy tones of the matrix in the turquoise creates a stunning look! One of the necklaces has an outline of two interlocking horse heads. It is also available in sterling silver on a simple black or brown leather cord or chain.

APPRASIALS FOR HORSE JEWELRY

I highly recommend having an appraisal for each piece of valuable jewelry. I have been contacted by several customers who have had their jewelry lost or stolen and needed proof of their purchase. Your insurance carrier uses the appraisal to determine the cost of replacement.
Be sure that the appraiser is certified as a Gemologist, Appraiser and Diamond Grader.
They will provide an image of the item and describe it's features ie:
Shape: 1 round brilliant cut diamond
Gauging: 3.2 x 3.2 mm

Total Diamond Weight:
Total Weight of Item:
retail replacement value:
It is a small price to pay for protection.
To all of my Canadian customers........HAPPY CANADA DAY !
To all of my US cutomers....................HAPPY JULY 4TH !
Have a safe and fun filled weekend.
