The Burnished Horse Signature Pieces
London 2012 bracelet
Woven into the 2012 bracelet is the story of four extraordinary horses who won show jumping gold at the 2012 London Olympic Games:
​
-
Hello Sanctos, ridden by Scott Brash
-
Vindicat, ridden by Peter Charles
-
Tripple X, ridden by Ben Maher
-
Big Star, ridden by Nick Skelton
​
The design is Brocade: Gilt-edged and was created by combining the longest strands of tail hair from each of the four 2012 gold winning horses to weave a smooth ribbon band, edged with real gold thread.
A hallmarked clasp of burnished gold and a golden ring chain - both 9 carat - complement the dark horse hair and celebrate the ultimate Olympic win. A limited edition of just five bracelets, each one has a tiny gold tag on one side of which is engraved "2012" and on the other the edition number "1/5", "2/5". The presentation box contains a certificate of authenticity bearing the signatures of the four riders.
