TO ORDER Marina Andersen Jewellery
Collecting TAIL hair- Politely stand at the tail of your horse and lift tail up. Unless recently washed, the tail will fall into its own locks / sections. Choose one closest to the very end tip of the dock bone, or slightly under the inside of the tip, as this section is not only the longest but the least likely to show when out riding etc.. You will need at least 8mm diameter of hair, or the thickness of your finger, and at least 40cm long for bracelets, or 60cm long for necklaces. You would be surprised at the amount of this hair that is not suitable for the braid, so more is better than not enough ( all hair not used will be returned to you). If your horses hair tapers away to thinner than 5mm at the 40cm or 60cm end, you will need to supply more to ensure enough hairs in the full length. Hold firmly, and carefully cut close to the tailbone. While still holding the piece, wrap the elastic band firmly around the cut end to stop it falling apart. Place inside the snap-loc bag and seal the bag flat. Give horse the carrot and a pat. If combining more than one horse in the same jewellery piece less hair from each is needed. Collecting MANE hair- Collecting hair from the mane is much the same, just choose a place where the mane is thickest, and cut (from underneath so it wont show ) about 8mm thickness per tassle, put on the rubber band, and post. PAYMENT DETAILS- Payment can be included with your with a cheque, money order, or email for direct deposit or Paypal details. Your item will be made specially for you with care and sensitivity, and mailed back within 2 weeks. A piece of jewellery with your own horses hair is a special and personal thing to hold close and keep for many years, reminding us of their extraordinary presence, heart, nobility and love.
 Frequently Asked Questions
How fragile is Horse Hair jewellery? Actually Horse Hair is extremely tough! It can be worn all the time, as long as there is no abrasion on the hair. However, it can be colour affected so avoid hair dyes, bleaches and harsh chemicals. You can wear your horse hair jewellery all the time, including to bed, swimming and in the shower, but I would advise removing it for safety if swimming in the ocean etc. How do I clean my Horse Hair Jewellery? Simply treat your jewellery like your own hair. A warm wash with mild shampoo will be all that you need, or alternatively just wear it in the shower. The silver or gold will slowly get fine scratches over time, so a light rub on the metal sections with a silver polishing cloth should bring back the sparkle.
