Details & Options

Horse hair: Full length tail hair is required for all woven pieces, regardless of finished length, because the hair must be long enough to fix on the loom. Slightly less than a little finger’s width of full length hair, 40 - 45 cm, is enough to make this bracelet. We always return any unused hair but it must fit in our envelopes so please don’t send more than needed as the excess will be discarded.

Measurements: We suggest a finished length of 2 cm greater than your wrist measurement. So if your wrist measures 16 cm, a good finished length would be 18 cm.

Please measure your wrist closely just above your wrist bone (arm side). We will make your jewellery to the length/size stated in the order. Correct measurement is vital because the horse hair is permanently glued into the clasp. Bracelets cannot be lengthened. They can potentially be shortened by a minimum of 1 cm but this would incur a charge.

Fastening: Your bracelet comes with a lobster clasp.

Engraving: on the outside of the ingot, if included, or discreetly on the inside of the clasp.

Timescale: All our jewellery is truly hand made and so timescales depend on order levels. Typically it takes around 4 - 6 weeks. Please email us beforehand if you have a particular deadline and we will try to accommodate you.

Please look after your jewellery!

As much as you love it, horse hair jewellery is not unbreakable and if you “love it too much”, your jewellery may not last! The better you care for your horse hair jewellery, the better it will last you.

* The silk thread used in our Racing Silks designs is obviously much softer than the horse hair so please take extra care with these designs.

Always follow the care instructions. In particular avoid prolonged soaking and anything that might snag, cut or abrade the horse hair. Please read our warranty. Failure to follow our care instructions excludes our warranty.
