Viking Horse Necklace, Sleipnir Scrimshaw Onyx Norse Handmade Jewelry

The unique "Sleipnir" horse necklace features a Viking inspired polymer clay horse head pendant, black onyx discs and sterling silver - one of a kid jewelry for women.

Perfect jewelry for the woman who loves horses and has more than a bit of Viking shield maiden in her, the SLEIPNIR handmade pendant necklace will surely draw attention whenever it is worn. The one of a kind necklace features a fiercely regal looking, artisan polymer clay horse head pendant, black onyx discs and sterling silver. The unique necklace is named after the eight-legged, stormy gray horse that the Norse god Odin always rode into battle.  Odin and Sleipnir also made frequent journeys through the Nine Worlds which were held in the branches and roots of the world-tree, Yggdrasil. The horse head pendant was hand sculpted from off white polymer clay to mimic carved bone scrimshaw.  To bring out the amazing details of the fierce face of the horse and his mane covered arched neck, a slate gray paint was added and then quickly rubbed off, leaving the paint in the recessed areas. A bit of light brown paint was added to "age" the pendant even more. The back of the pendant has a unique dragonscale design. Two heavy duty sterling silver jump rings secure the pendant to the main body of the necklace.  To perfectly complement the horse head pendant, two sizes of glossy black onyx discs were used. Five groups of three larger discs are found at the front of the necklace, each group separated by a 3 mm sterling silver bead. A fancy sterling silver melon bead separates the larger onyx discs from the smaller ones at the back. Groupings of the smaller discs are found on each side of the necklace, also separated by sterling silver beads. Since the black onyx discs were hand cut, they are very similar in size and shape but there are also some slight variations. The necklace is finished with a sleek sterling silver toggle clasp set. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique SLEIPNIR horse pendant necklace will be a wonderful gift for the woman who loves Viking mythology and regal horses.

The horse head pendant is artisan made from polymer clay to look like old bone scrimshaw.

Horse Lover Pendant Necklace, Mare Foal Handmade Equine Jewelry Gift

The exquisite "Los Caballos" necklace features an artisan polymer clay horse and foal pendant with two colors and shapes of freshwater pearls - unique horse jewelry for women.

An exquisite jewelry gift for the woman who adores the majesty of horses, the LOS CABALLOS handmade necklace features an artisan created, one of a kind mare and foal pendant with freshwater pearls in two colors and shapes. The unique pendant, a small work of art, was created from two-toned polymer clay, a sparkly pearly white on top and a shimmering light barn red on the bottom. The horses were drawn free hand with India ink. The larger mare was painted with copper and gold inks while the smaller foal was colored black with India ink. The pendant was sealed with an acrylic finish, but the artist asks that the pendant be limited to water exposure.  The pendant glistens and glimmers as the light hits it at different angles, something the photos can’t show.  To perfectly complement the amazing horses pendant, two colors and shapes of glowing freshwater pearls were used - the luster of these pearls are absolutely amazing. Coppery bronze pearls make up most of the main body of the necklace. Since they are baroque pearls, providing wonderful texture to the design, each pearl is different in size and shape with some having a flat side. For added eye appeal, a round brown pearl was added between each grouping of five baroque pearls. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LOS CABALLOS handmade necklace was created for the woman who loves unique artisan horse jewelry. “Los caballos” is Spanish for “the horses.”

The unique mare and foal polymer clay pendant was artisan handmade - it's a one of a kind piece of art.

Here's the important information for the LOS CABALLOS horse lover's necklace:

• Polymer clay horse and foal pendant: app. 32 mm x 25 mm x 5 mm; handmade by Christina Cassidy
• Coppery bronze baroque freshwater pearls: on average app. 8 mm x 4 mm; some a bit larger, some a bit smaller
• Brown round freshwater pearls: app. 5 mm
