I have a confession to make: necklaces are not my favorite piece of jewelry. I own a handful of necklaces, some gold, some silver, some small and simple, some large and chunky. But every day I find myself wearing the exact same one: a silver chain with a heart charm on it. My husband got it for me when we dating, so it certainly has a lot of special meaning… but I don’t think he’ll love me any less if I don’t wear it every single day. Moral of the story? I really need to get out of my comfort zone and buy a few more necklaces. So here are a few equestrian necklaces I’ve been drooling over. I have a bunch more listed on my Equestrian Style Pinterest Board, so if you’re looking for one that’s not on my list, go check there. I have a about a bazillion equestrian necklaces pinned, and even though some are a bit out of my price range currently, I promise they are all absolutely drool-worthy.
#1 Gold Snaffle Bit Equestrian Necklace
There are a plethora of variations of the snaffle bit necklace out there; in fact it’s probably the single-most popular equestrian necklace… but for some reason this one really caught my eye. It’s a bit bigger and even though gold isn’t my favorite… I just love this one. I think it would be perfect for the fall, with a chunky brown sweater. Plus at $38 it’s not outrageously expensive, thank goodness.
#2 Silver Heart in Horseshoe Equestrian Necklace
$44.95 from BackintheSaddle.com
This necklace is right in my wheelhouse: a simple silver pendant on a silver chain. It might not be the most exciting piece of jewelry ever crafted, but it will go with every single outfit I own, and add an equestrian detail for anyone looking closely. Plus, I do think how the heart dangles inside the horseshoe makes it a little bit unique, and not just like every other horseshoe equestrian necklace.
#3 Initial and Horseshoe Equestrian Necklace
This piece spoke to my inner pre-teen, horse-crazy self. With the little charms, and my initial… it was just too cute to now put on my list for under $20. For the charm, you can pick your birthstone or your favorite color and rejoice in a moment of pure teenage indulgence. Go ahead — I know you want to!
#4 Silver Warmblood Brand Equestrian Necklace
So… obviously the theme here is silver pendants. But I guess I know what I like? Regardless, these warmblood brand pendants are really cool. The designer has Dutch, Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Oldenburg, Swedish, Trakehner and Westphalian brand necklaces available. If I owned a horse of one of those breeds, you better bet I’d own one of these necklaces to go along with him.
#5 Gold Stirrup Equestrian Necklace
Finally, I’m branching out! Here’s a long, dangle gold statement piece that I absolutely adore. Again, I’m getting a fall vibe mostly, but I also think this would be super cute with a black flowing tank top during the summer or even a chunky sweater when it’s snowing.
Very cute!
You have great taste! I’m coming to Ohio and we’re going shopping together, ok!?
Sounds perfect! Let me know when, so I can start saving my pennies now, HAHA!
I feel like this could turn out to be a very, very dangerous situation and our husbands might divorce us… LOL
I want all of them!
One of my favorite pieces of jewelry (wearing it right now) is a tiny horseshoe necklace with little diamonds. I’ve had it for years and adore it.
This both makes me wish that I liked wearing jewelry more, and grateful that I don’t like wearing jewelry much. I’d have even less moneys.
I have one that I’d like to add! Just received it in the mail from Etsy, and although the chain is slightly shorter than I’d like (sad face), it’s really quite pretty! It’s a sterling silver chain and silver snaffle bit 🙂
