Horse Hair Bracelets Custom Ordered

By Sally Delacruz


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.

These fine pieces of jewelry are actually made from hairs cut directly from the animal, causing no pain at all. The strands are generally gathered from the tail because of their length, thickness and strength. For those who prefer it, there are other items that may be created using the shorter, finer strands from 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 lot of equestrians form special bonds with their animals and want to have something special made from a part of their own steed so that they are always connected. Strands may be taken from an animal that is alive as well as one that has passed and is deeply missed. Pieces can even be created using donations from more than one equine.

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.

There is no need to wash the bundle before mailing it in as the artists will treat it in a way that makes it easier for them to work with. Pieces are generally braided using either three strands, which creates a flat weave, or with four which generates a round rope. Each of these newly created lengths are then fashioned into custom wrist adornments in one of a number of fashionable designs.

To keep this configuration in place and the hairs from getting loose, many artists bind them together using brass or silver end caps with connecting chains and latches. To create their unique looks, various decorative items such as beads and baubles are added to the work. Many individuals choose to add sentimental items like engraved charms or photo drops just to further personalize the piece.

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.
