Horsehair Memorial Jewelry
The bond between a person and their horse is unlike almost any other. It is built over years of shared work, shared trust, and shared silence. When a horse is gone, the grief is real — and it deserves to be honored in a form that is as lasting as the relationship was.
Horsehair memorial jewelry carries that bond forward. A piece of your horse’s mane or tail, sealed permanently inside a ring or necklace you wear every day.
What Horsehair Memorial Jewelry Is
Horsehair memorial jewelry incorporates actual hair from your horse — typically from the mane or tail — into a handcrafted ring or necklace. The hair is sealed inside the piece permanently, protected from moisture and physical damage, and will remain intact for decades.
The result is something you can wear every day that carries a physical piece of the animal you loved.
Horsehair vs. Horse Ashes
Some horse owners choose to use hair. Others choose to use ashes. Some choose both. Each has its own meaning:
- Horsehair is available before the horse passes — you can collect it at any time from the mane or tail. It is a living piece of the animal, taken while they were still with you.
- Horse ashes are available after cremation. Our horse memorial jewelry collection includes pieces made with ashes as well as hair.
- Both together — some of our most meaningful pieces incorporate both hair and ashes in the same ring, carrying the horse in two forms simultaneously.
How to Collect Horsehair for Jewelry
Collecting horsehair for memorial jewelry is straightforward:
- Cut a small amount of hair from the mane or tail — a bundle roughly the diameter of a pencil is more than enough.
- Tie the bundle at one end with a piece of thread or a rubber band to keep it together.
- Store it in a clean, dry, airtight container or zip-lock bag until you are ready to send it.
- Label the container with your horse’s name and your order information.
The hair does not need to be washed or treated before sending. We handle it from there.
