Sterling silver is used to make many varied and unique pieces of jewellery for the animal lover. Many equestrian shops both online and high street produce a wide range of product including horse jewellery. When visiting equestrian events, I am always impressed with the turnout of both the riders and the horses. The riders will invariably be wearing a variety of sterling silver horse jewellery including necklaces, earrings, brooches, pendants, stock pins, bracelets, bangles, rings, cuff links and tie pins all of which can be found by the animal lover at online equestrian shops.
An equestrian shop will supply these earrings for the animal lover in many different designs from flashy hoop earrings to simple studs proving a large choice of horse jewellery for the equestrian enthusiast. The hoop earring is varied in style, some with charms or with simple attachments such as a riding boot. Some come with multiple hoops providing good variety for the animal lover. The studs can be of horse jewellery shapes including horse heads and horse shoes and are very popular with children.
The key to sterling silver jewellery is in the quality of the raw material. The most popular silver today is sterling silver which is actually 92.5% silver. The other make up percentage is generally copper as is by far the most superior metal for this purpose. The genuine product will certainly be hall marked (unless its weight is less than about 3 grams)
In summary, equestrian shops provide a huge choice of sterling silver jewellery available for the animal lover but ensure the quality is as described above.
