Questions about horse hair jewellery

Horse hair collection and preparation

The horse hair can be taken from the horse in a number of ways.

• Hold each hair at the bottom and pull out with a strong tug
• Cut from the underside of the tail where it wont be noticed
• Collect hair each time you brush the tail!

To know how much hair is needed, click on the photograph of the item it is you are interested in and a second page about the product, with more details including amount of hair needed, will be displayed.

If possible please wash the hair prior to sending it but DO NOT use any conditioning shampoo or conditioners/detanglers, normal shampoo or washing up liquid is fine.

Tie the bundle of hair to prevent it separating and label with your details and horses name.

When the hair is braided it is done in exactly the state that it is sent to me (bar washing) – it is not treated or dyed in anyway, so may even still have some of your horses smell on it!

Sending the hair to us

Please ensure that sufficient postage is paid when the horse hair is sent to us. This normally means a large letter stamp due to the thickness of the envelope. I do not accept items from the Post Office that have had insufficient postage paid on them, unless a £5 fee is paid to cover the Post Office fee, postage and collection. If in any doubt about the postage required for your package, please visit your post office or the Royal Mail website for advice.

Please clearly label your package with your name so I can match your horse hair up with your order.

More than one horse

If you would like an item making from the hair from more than one horse then there is no problem with this. Make sure the hair bundles are easily identifiable and put instructions into the special requests box on the order form.

Special Requirements

If you require a different length of necklace or bracelet then put the details into the special requests box. There is no charge for this unless you require the length to be significantly longer than currently described. Any other queries then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Delivery

Delivery for horsehair jewellery items depends upon order levels but I aim for 2-4 weeks. Your dispatch date will be given in your commission me email that you will receive on placing your commission. Items are posted back by special delivery so require a signature on receipt.
