Forged: Braided Earrings
Unmistakably equestrian.
Sterling silver drop earrings with tiny square braided horse hair, inspired by the simple, distinctive form of the farrier's nail.
Made individually using your own horse hair, or choose from our carefully selected horse hair. The standard drop is approximately 4 cm, with a custom length available if you prefer them shorter or longer.

Sending your horse hair
If your jewellery is being made with your own horse’s hair, please send clean, dry, full-length tail hair wherever possible. This allows us to select the strongest and most suitable hairs for the braid. This design can be made with hair as short as 20 cm, although longer hair is preferable. Please take the hairs at their full length rather than trimming the ends.
A small bundle is plenty — a pencil’s thickness for guidance. 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.
Lead times are broadly 4 - 6 weeks depending on the size of our order book, casting and hallmarking schedules. If you have a particular date in mind, please let us know when ordering and we will do our best to accommodate it.
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.
