Here’s our guide to horse jewelry, types we love, and why. Whether you’re looking for a gift for yourself or your favourite horse lover, we’ve got you covered.

The Gift of Gallop

Pieces from our gallop collection are made specifically for horse lovers. Here’s our guide to our favourite options from this collection so that you can find the perfect piece for you.

Pretty in Pendants

Our amazing pendant necklaces are the perfect way to show off your equestrian spirt in a way that is classic and subtle, yet will catch any horse lovers eye.

A timeless symbol that represents and unites all horse lovers is the horseshoe necklace. If you’re getting a gift for your horse loving friend, you can’t go wrong with this option. We love that this symbol also represents good luck.

For a girl who loves some sparkle, try our rose gold horseshoe necklace, which is lined with tasteful gems. If you’re looking for even more, we have a set of studs to match.

For something more minimal, you can’t go wrong with our mini horseshoe necklaces, which come in both silver and rose gold. We love the shorter choker length of this beauty, which is perfect for a young lady.

For a truly unique option, consider the boot and stirrup pendant, which comes in silver and rose gold. Two charms dangle from this pendant necklace, a boot, and a sparkly stirrup. This is such a subtle representation of the equestrian culture that is sure to make for a great conversation starter.

A lovely option for any age is our dressage horse pendant. This necklace features a small horse figurine that is dainty and beautiful.

Beautiful Bracelets

If you’re looking for a bracelet to match your necklace, we have tons of amazing options.

One of our favourites is the beaded equestrian bracelet, which is similar to a charm bracelet. This beauty is delicate and complete with simple details. With dangle charms such as a stirrup and a horseshoe, this is a beautiful way to show off how important horses are to you.

Another favourite is the T Bar horseshoe bracelet, which uses a sparkly horseshoe as the clasp that encloses the bracelet. This is a great option that is less obvious and can be worn to any occasion.

Horse Jewelry Every Equestrian Will Love

Wearing horse jewelry is a great way to show how important horses are to you. It’s a great way to show how important horses are to your identity and connect you to other horse lovers who may notice your jewlery. Wearing jewelry that hints to who you are as a person is a great way to connect to others like you and to strike up engaging conversations.

Head to our site to purchase tons of different horse-themed jewelry for yourself or for a loved one today!

In just the first quarter of 2019, people in the UK spent over four billion quid on jewelry. This makes sense — after all, there are loads of trendy styles you can choose from that will supplement any outfit!

Still, it can be difficult to make the choice of a specific metal for your new earrings or bangles. Here, we’re going to help sway you to make the right decision and buy silver accessories (they’re so much better than gold.)

It’s More Versatile

One thing that silver jewelry has going for it over gold is that it’s really versatile. By this, we mean that it can be paired with any colour stone or charm without clashing. This leaves more options for different kinds of jewelry and gems of different hues.

When you choose a silver chain or charm, you’re also keeping loads of possibilities open for new wardrobe items. Gold is intense and can clash with clothing, especially with outfits in cool colours. On the flip side, your lovely new silver bee pendant will go with literally anything!

It’s Durable

Silver is also a lot more durable than gold. While gold is an incredibly soft and malleable metal, silver is harder. It won’t dent, move, or bend nearly as easily as gold would.

This makes it the perfect metal for jewelry, especially for girls on the go. You can work, go clubbing, have adventurous first dates, and relax with the girls, all without fear of ruining your expensive accessory with vigorous activity.

It’s Less Expensive

Many people are drawn to gold because of the price tag, but for most young adults, paying rent on a flat is difficult enough without paying high prices for wardrobe items. This is a ridiculous thing to do, especially when there’s a cheaper alternative!

Silver costs less than gold does in general. Not only that, but all our accessories are affordable and durable, so check out our shop!

It’s Unique (and Gorgeous)

One of the reasons that gold is valued so highly is because of its rarity, but did you know that silver is actually a rarer metal than gold is? Go figure!

By wearing silver, you’re expressing that you’re one-of-a-kind. You also will know that you’re rare in that you know this fun fact!

Not only that, but silver jewelry is absolutely beautiful. It shines, just like the wearer, and draws people’s eyes to it.

It’s Better Than Gold

While many people lean toward gold when it comes to jewelry, this may in fact not be the best choice. Silver is more versatile, durable, affordable, and, dare we say, gorgeous.

Now that you know why silver is better than gold when it comes to jewelry, it’s time to get shopping for necklaces, bracelets, rings, and more accessories made with high-quality silver. Check out our sale page to see the items we’re currently selling at even lower prices than usual!

Stay snazzy and support silver!

For the last several years, charm bracelets have been making a major comeback. They are a great way to show off your passions and interests. In a way, it is like wearing your personality on your wrist.

A lot of people run into similar problems when they are making a charm bracelet. How do you make one that isn’t just like everyone else’s? Can it be both unique and cute?

If this is something you have thought about, check out our guide on making a charm bracelet that reflects your personality and style.

1. It Should Reflect Your Personality

Are you the life of the party or do you have more of an artist-type personality? Why not both?

You should pick a style of charm bracelet that represents the highlights of your personality. If you’re loud and fun get plenty of big, jangly charms. If you like a more subtle, chic style, consider getting a more minimalist bracelet with only a few, meaningful charms.

Whatever you choose, it should be true to you and your style. Consider what outfits you might put together that go with your charms.

2. Showing off your Hobbies

A charm bracelet is a good way to let people know what you’re into and what your talents are. How else is anyone going to know you’re an expert on horses if you don’t have at least three equestrian charms?

If you are into nursing and medicine, you can get a stethoscope, for example. Also, charms that represent your favourite sports and teams are a must!

3. Are You a Dog or a Cat Person?

Maybe you even prefer horses! Many people love to represent their favourite pets or animals with charms or dog lover bracelets.

There are all sorts of options for dog lovers. Charms immortalize them forever. Think of it as a way to carry your best friend along with you anywhere you go.

There are many different ways to choose an animal to get as a charm. Do you have a spirit animal? Maybe you can find inspiration from the Chinese Zodiac.

4. Country-Themed Bracelets and Charms

Do you want to represent your home country on your bracelet? Or perhaps you want a charm that reminds you of your trip to Paris or other favourite vacations?

There are county-themed charms for most places in the world. You can get charms that carry the country name, flag, or famous symbols. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most popular and iconic charms.

5. Picking the Best Material

This is one of the most essential steps of the whole process? What kind of bracelet do you want?

Gold and silver bracelets are a favourite. But there are many good options that are made of leather or other materials.

Are you going to be wearing the bracelet around the house or on the go? Do you have a job the requires you to dress a certain way? These are all things to consider.

Making a Charm Bracelet As Unique as You Are

Making a charm bracelet requires important decisions that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s a chance to showcase who you are and the things you love.

When it comes to gift shopping, finding the perfect ring for someone is tricky. It can be difficult to know what they want and what will appeal to their tastes. That’s what makes the gift so special when you do find a beautiful piece they love.

Of course, that task is easier with a strategy in mind. Use these tips to find the perfect ring for that special person in your life.

1. Define Their Style

Rings come in a countless number of styles and moods. The first thing you need to do is define the style that your ring recipient has.

Think about the jewellery the person usually wears.

Is it delicate and understated? Perhaps they prefer bold statement jewellery. Is it bright and colourful or simple and monochromatic?

This line of thought helps you get a better feel for the rings that speak to that person’s style.

2. Consider Their Interests

If you truly want to show off how well you know this person, cater the jewellery to their interests.

There is jewellery that is based on different sports or hobbies. There is also jewellery geared toward people who love certain animals. For example, our Gallop Collection is all about horses while our Woof Collection is designed for dog lovers.

3. Learn Their Colors

We all have certain colours we tend to gravitate toward when it comes to jewellery. Some of us prefer jewellery with a silver or white gold tone, while others prefer the colour of yellow gold or rose gold.

Take a look at the jewellery your friend or family member usually wears and shop within that colour family.

Keep in mind that if you don’t have a gold budget, you don’t need to buy jewellery that is actually made of gold. Silver jewellery can have plating or other design elements that make it look like other metals.

4. Get to Know the Trends

Everyone wants to look like their style is new and trendy, and that includes the person you’re shopping for.

To help them toward that goal, read up on the latest trends in jewellery and accessories.

Of course, those trends shouldn’t override the person’s style. If any of this year’s trends look like they’d fit well into that person’s wardrobe, great. If not, go with rings that speak to the person’s own style.

5. Find Out Their Ring Size

This is more of a practical tip but it’s important nonetheless. You need to know your loved one’s ring size.

If the gift isn’t a surprise, you can ask them. If not, a handy tip is to measure one of their other rings. Use a ring size chart to see how that measurement converts to ring size.

The Perfect Ring as the Perfect Gift

No matter who you’re buying for, the perfect gift is one that shows the person how well you know them and how much you care. With the tips above, you can find the perfect ring for that special person in your life.

To start your ring hunt today, shop for rings online right now.

Gift shopping is something that’s always at the back of our minds. In the UK, the average person spends more than £850 on gifts each year! It might be at its peak during the holidays, but it’s never too early to plan a gift for your loved ones’ upcoming birthdays and future holidays.

One of the best ways to find the perfect gift is to learn about your loved ones’ hobbies and interests.

If you have someone in your life who loves horses, you’re in luck. Check out these fantastic gifts for horse lovers.

A Surprise Outing

If your friend or family member loves horses, what better to give them than one-on-one time with their favourite animal?

Surprise your loved one with a horseback riding trip. Depending on your budget and the options available, it could be as quick as an hour-long ride or an excursion for the day.

As much as you love surprises, though, surprise your loved one with the news, not the trip itself. Make sure they plan ahead so they wear the right clothes and shoes to hit the horsebacks.

Horse-Themed Jewellery

Jewellery doesn’t just need to be something pretty that accents a person’s outfit. When it comes to jewellery gifts, it’s better to get someone jewellery that signifies or represents something important to them.

As you shop for gifts for someone who loves horses, there are plenty of horse jewellery options to choose from.

Our Gallop Collection of horse jewellery offers pieces like necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets. It even includes jewellery in different colours and tones. While it’s all made with precious silver, it mimics metals like white gold and rose gold.

Horseshoe Home Decor

There’s a huge trend in home decor today of upcycled or reclaimed items. In other words, people take old or discarded items and make any number of modifications to turn them into new decorative pieces.

One of the most popular upcycled items is the versatile horseshoe. People have used horseshoes to make wine holders, coat racks, wall hangings, and anything else you can imagine.

If you’re a crafty person, you may be able to make a one-of-a-kind piece yourself. If not, you could ask a favour from someone crafty that you know or you can always check websites that sell handmade items.

The Gift of Information

For anyone who loves horses, they want all the information about horses they can get. They want to know how horses think, how they move, and what makes them happy.

This is why they’ll love any of the countless books available about horses. You can get more specific based on your loved one’s interests. For instance, you can give them a book about a specific breed of horses or horses in a particular area.

Getting That Coveted “I Love It!” Reaction with Top Gifts for Horse Lovers

One of the most purely joyful things in life is seeing excitement and gratitude on a person’s face when you give them a gift they love. If you’re shopping for someone who lives and breathes horses, the above gifts for horse lovers will be a perfect fit.

Are you a proud dog parent? If so, then there’s a good chance that you love to show off your pup every chance you get. And when you’re not able to show your furry friend off to those around you, it’s essential to have another way of showing your love for dogs.

That’s where dog lovers jewellery comes into play. By owning and wearing dog lovers jewellery, you can help represent your favourite breed of dog in a subtle way. These jewellery pieces listed below are elegant, beautiful, and most of all, subtle.

1. Pug Studs

Do you have a happy pug living in your home? Did you have a pug as a child? If so, then you’re going to love owning a pair of pug stud earrings.

These pug earrings are made from sterling silver and have enamel markings on them that give them the character they deserve. After purchasing these creative earrings, don’t forget to pick out a pug pendant as well for wearing on your favourite necklace chain!

2. Dog Breed Pendants

Speaking of pendants, you can find pendants of all different dog breeds. Some examples include the border terrier, the boxer, the greyhound, and so much more. These pendants are the perfect way to show off your love for a specific breed of dog.

The material of the pendant depends on the type of dog breed pendant that you purchase. Some are made of solid silver, rose gold, and other materials. Pendants come with chain necklaces that are adjustable for your liking.

3. Paw Print Bracelet, Studs, Ring, and Necklace

If you have more than one breed of dog in your home, then it might be hard to select only one dog-breed pendant or stud to wear. You could buy multiple ones and switch them out from time to time. Another option that you have is to show off your love for pups by wearing paw print bracelets, studs, rings, or necklaces.

The paw print design allows you to let others know that you love your pups without having to wear the exact kind of pup on your jewellery.

4. Dog Bone Studs, Necklace, and Charm

Another option you have that’s similar to the paw print design is the dog bone design. You can find dog bone studs, necklaces, and charms. You’ll find these jewellery pieces in solid silver.

When purchasing one dog bone jewellery piece, you might be inclined to purchase other matching pieces to complete your look.

5. Dog Breed Charms

The last item on our list is the dog-breed charm. You can find charms in the form of all different dog breeds just as you would with the pendants. However, the charms are used for placing on a necklace that you already own, on a bracelet, or any other piece of jewellery that you’d like to rock a pup charm on.

Aside from the dog breeds, you can also find charms with paw prints designs on them as well.

The United Kingdom’s jewellery industry exceeded £13.9 billion in 2018. Our latest jewellery design combines the simplicity of country life with elegant charms and the results are spectacular.

People in the UK have been buying more jewellery in recent years. As the jewellery’s popularity grows, more people are looking for fine jewellery designers who truly understand consumers’ preferences.

Our Country Collection reflects how well we understand these simple desires. Sometimes, all you need is to breathe fresh air and spend quality time with nature.

Here’s what you can expect from the Country Collection:

Unique and Modern Designs

Here at Gemma J, we believe in creating high-quality jewellery with a unique flair. You’ll never find another unique jewellery designer that offers the quality of our designs at such affordable prices. This includes pieces with modern jewellery designs such as the Strawberry Box Pendant.

The Strawberry Box Pendant is coated in rose gold with silver pip details. The pendant also opens so you can put a treasure inside of it. Plus, when you order this pendant, you get a Sterling silver chain that comes in 2 adjustable lengths for more flexible sizing.

Despite the country theme, a good number of our designs will still surprise you. For instance, our rose gold pineapple and Pineapple Box pendants are produce-themed, but they’re still creative.

Great For Animal Lovers

Most artisan jewellery designers don’t cater to the country-loving crowd. That’s part of what makes the Country Collection remarkable: We took all of your favourite animals from the countryside and created jewellery representations of them.

In this collection, you’ll find pendants that resemble farm animals such as cows, chickens, horses, and others. But there are also pendants of animals you’d spot in the wild: robins, foxes, pheasants, deer, and more.

Still, we didn’t forget your classic favourites such as cats and dogs. If you don’t know which animal pieces to choose, learn more about animal symbols at the aforementioned link.

Express Your Love For Nature

One of the best things about the countryside is being closer to nature. That’s why the top jewellery pieces in this collection also incorporate natural symbolism into their designs.

You’ll love our rose gold apple earrings and flower pendants. There are also pieces that feature acorns, feathers, snowflakes, and other things you find in nature or on a farm. This includes insects like dragonflies and bees.

(By the way, acorns symbolize prosperity and good luck. That’s why acorn jewellery pieces make perfect gifts for loved ones.)

Our Latest Jewellery Design Will Make You Smile

According to a recent poll of women from the UK, 70% of respondents chose to wear the same pieces of jewellery every day. The pieces from our latest jewellery design collection are stylish yet humble, so you’ll want to wear them with every outfit.

This same survey revealed that 1 in 5 UK women consider buying jewellery to be their “favourite affordable luxury.” Considering the high quality of our pieces, we’re definitely one of the most affordable jewellery designers on the market.

It’s your turn to own jewellery that’s worth flaunting—check out our Country Collection and see what you like. You’ll be surprised by how well our pieces will reflect your personality and fashion sense.

Look out your window to the sky, the trees, the animals. Everything you see in nature has its own symbolism and have them present in your daily life can be a great way of reminding you of wishes and goals.

A good way of doing so is by wearing little tokens that are relevant to you.
