Many people for special bonds with their animals and want to find some way to feel as if they are in constant contact. For many, this need is met through items such as screen printed tees, lockets with photos or special charms that represent a species, breed or favored pet. Admirers of equines often find that horse hair bracelets are a stylish way to show their devotion.
This unique type of jewelry is created using hairs that are actually collected from the animal in a completely painless way. Typically, they are cut from the underside of the tail because the strands in that are are generally longer, stronger and thicker. Other types of keepsakes can be formed for those who prefer the shorter, finer pieces that grow in the mane.
Some businesses offer stock items made from product gathered from donor horses, making it possible for those who do not own an animal to still enjoy this type of accessory. These are immediately available for purchase and perfect for those who love equines or simply enjoy the look and feel of this type of jewelry. There are many styles and designs from which one may choose.
A large number of these wrist adornments are custom ordered by equestrian owners wanting to wear something made from their own beloved animals. These can be created from an animal that is still living or one that has recently passed away. Strands from multiple horses can be used in the same piece of jewelry.
Those placing a custom order will be provided with detailed, yet simple instructions for properly collecting the necessary products. Generally, hairs are taken from the sections nearest the tailbone and gathered into a bundle that should be about as thick around as an average pencil. The harvest materials should be banded together at one end and sent to the artist provided address.
Unless the bundle is extremely dirty, most artists will not require that the donation be washed before mailing as they will treat it with products they find easiest to work with. The two main ways of creating the pieces are with a three strand braid, which is flat, or using four in order to get a rounded look. These are then combined and twisted in a variety of ways to generate a bevy of beautiful designs.
To keep the braids in place, many jewelry artists choose to use brass or sterling silver end caps, latches and chains. To add some sparkle or to customize for the client, beads and other adornments are often added to the ropes. Many shops also offer the option of adding personalized charms and engravings to the piece to make the commemoration that much more special.
Many individuals wear these pieces as a way to keep a part of a much loved animal near to them everywhere they go. For some, it is a pleasant reminder of just how loving and gentle these creatures can be, providing loyalty, trust and friendship in their own special way. Whether custom made or purchased from stock, these unique bangles make beautiful accessories and heartfelt memorials.
