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

$38 on Etsy.com

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

$18 on Etsy.com

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

$84 from Loriece

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 DutchHanoverian, 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

$18 Massimo Dutti

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.
