Embody the Year of the Horse with the addition of these equine pieces in 2026
With the lunar calendar shifting from the year of the horse, now is the perfect moment to reimagine your jewellery box. A year that champions rapid, energetic and transformative change, it marks the perfect time to gallop into the new season, swapping out dated pieces for those a little more horse-like freedom.
For those drawn to whimsy, horse-themed jewellery is an endless field of treasures. Literal interpretations can be found in striking editions from Van Cleef & Arpels or Thomas Sabo. Others, like Lanvin or Dior, offer a quirkier, more abstract take, especially Dior, whose brooch seems creatively fashioned from the very sewing implements one might find scattered across an atelier.
Vivienne Westwood introduces equine elegance with a subtle, playful flourish; the orbs dangling from its horse hoop earrings evoke the joyful image of a carousel. Maria Nilsdotter achieves a similar subtlety with its unicorn single earring, a quick yet charming nod to the horse's spirit.
Finally, for those who prefer to shy away from the overtly literal, inspiration lies in the broader equestrian field. Swarovski and Hermès elevate the humble horseshoe into a shining symbol, whilst the Scandinavian label Ioaku transforms a bridle's bit into a remarkably elegant ring.
