What these Keepsakes Mean
Beautiful Keepsake

I couldn’t be happier with my bracelet. The quality of the horsehair braid and sterling silver is stunning, and it means the world to have my mare with me every day
Exceptional Craftsmanship

The detailing is exquisite and the keychain feels strong yet elegant. It’s clear so much care goes into making each piece - thank you for such a meaningful keepsake
So Thoughtfully Made

I ordered a keychain with a resin bead containing dog fur and horsehair - what a lovely way to remember both my companions. It brought happy tears!
Perfect Gift
Amy S
I gave a custom braid bracelet to my daughter after she lost her pony. She hasn’t taken it off since. The presentation and sentiment were perfect
Unique & Personal

I’ve never seen anything like these pieces before. The donkey hair tassel I ordered is not only beautiful, but it also honours a part of my heart.
Highly Recommend

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely - your keepsake is made exclusively from the sample you provide. No blends or substitutes, ever.
Yes! Blending hair from multiple horses can create beautiful, multi-toned braids or tassels that tell your unique story.
Always.Any unused hair or fur will be returned to you with your finished keepsake, unless you ask me not to.
Yes- I ship worldwide. Please note that customs duties may apply in your country.
- Tail Hair (Horse or Pony): At least 43 cm (17") - enough to wrap around your wrist twice and about as thick as your thumb - for all braided items (bracelets, necklaces, keychains).
- Tail Hair (Donkey): Naturally shorter, finer, and less abundant than horse hair - not suitable for braided keepsakes, but perfect for a tail hair tassel. Please send as much as you can spare.
- Mane or Forelock Hair: Ideal for tassels when tail hair is limited - send as much as possible.
- Tassels: Ideally, send the same amount as for a bracelet. Standard length is 14 cm (subject to hair length supplied), but can be trimmed once returned. If your hair is shorter or finer, I’ll still use every strand - nothing is wasted
I’ve crafted keepsakes with just a single strand, but typically around a teaspoon’s worth gives the best results. Only a small pinch is needed for resin keepsakes- and pale or very light hairs may appear slightly translucent once set in resin. This is a natural effect that gives a soft, delicate finish..
Yes - I wash and prepare all horse/donkey hair upon arrival.(Note: I do not wash pet hair.)
Of course - you’re welcome to drop off your hair or fur in person. Just get in touch to arrange. Location is Bury, Manchester.
I recommend sending your sample in a sealed bag using a padded envelope via a tracked service and keeping a small portion back. While losses are rare, this ensures you have a backup if needed.
Handcrafted keepsakes typically take 10-14 days to complete from the time I receive your hair or fur. I'll keep you updated throughout the process. If you need your keepsake sooner, please let me know and I’ll do my best to help.
Let me know your deadline when you order, and I’ll confirm whether I can meet it. I’ll always do my best to accommodate urgent requests.
No worries at all, I completely understand that plans can change. Your card details are securely captured at checkout, but you won’t be charged until your keepsake is complete and ready to return home. If you’ve changed your mind before sending in your hair sample, simply get in touch and I’ll cancel your order with no charge. If your sample has already arrived, just message me as soon as possible so we can discuss next steps.
Your keepsake is deeply personal, and I want you to feel completely happy with it. If something isn’t quite right, please get in touch within 7 days of receiving your order and I’ll do everything I can to make it right - whether that’s a small adjustment, repair, or a full remake (where possible).
Please note: Each keepsake is permanently crafted with soldered sterling silver joins, meaning once the piece is complete, it can’t be taken apart or reworked. If you're unhappy and we decide a remake is the best option, I can start again only if there’s enough hair or fur remaining. Unfortunately, I can’t reuse material from a finished piece.
Yes - if your jewellery needs repair or you’d like adjustments, I’m happy to help. Please get in touch with details and I’ll provide pricing and options.
- Avoid exposure to water, perfumes, and harsh chemicals
- Gently polish silver parts with a soft cloth
- Store in a dry, shaded place when not worn
