Forged: Braided Pendant
A contemporary interpretation of one of the most enduring symbols of the horse world.
An 8 strand Japanese square braid is captured within an elegant sterling silver pendant inspired by the distinctive form of the traditional farrier's nail.
Created using hair from your own horse or our carefully selected horsehair, each pendant is individually handmade to order. Different hair colours can be blended or arranged to create a more defined pattern, making every piece unique.
Pendant set on a smooth sterling silver chain with lobster fastening.
Your pendant can be personalised with a complimentary engraved sterling silver tag. 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, 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. 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.
