Quintessentially Equine: The Classic Braided Bracelet
The Burnished Horse signature hand-braided horsehair bracelet, in its timeless round form.
Handmade using the traditional Japanese art of Kumihimo, the horsehair is worked into a beautifully tactile round braid and finished with solid sterling silver fittings and our sliding horseshoe ingot.
Created using hair from your own horse or our carefully selected horsehair, each bracelet is individually made to order. Braid thickness approximately 6 mm diameter. The proportions and arrangement of different hair colours can be chosen to create anything from a subtle blend to a more defined pattern.
Personalise your bracelet further with complimentary engraving. Each piece carries The Burnished Horse maker's mark and is independently hallmarked by the London Assay Office.

Sending your horse hair
If your jewellery is being made with your own horse’s hair, please send clean, dry, horse hair. Full-length tail hair, ideally at least 40 - 45 cm long is required for this design. Take the hairs at their full length rather than trimming the ends.
A small bundle is plenty — a pencil’s thickness. If sending hair from more than one horse, please package and label each horse’s hair separately.
Full instructions, including where to send your horsehair, will be provided after ordering. Any unused hair will be returned to you with your finished jewellery.
Making & Delivery
Each piece is individually handmade to order, and commissions are completed in the order they are received.
If you have a particular date in mind, please let us know when ordering and we will do our best to accommodate it.
Once completed, your jewellery will be carefully packaged and sent using an insured, tracked service. UK delivery is included.
Care & Longevity
Horsehair is a natural material and, with appropriate care, your jewellery can be enjoyed for many years.
Avoid prolonged soaking and anything that may snag, cut or abrade the horsehair. Remove your jewellery before bathing, swimming or activities that may expose it to excessive moisture or abrasion.
Please follow the care instructions supplied with your jewellery.
