GOLD HORSE LOCKET

9 Carat Gold 

Noble, graceful, majestic, and free-spirited.

This graceful horse started life as a hand drawn sketch influenced by the famous paintings of 19th Century animal artist George Stubbs,and studies of horses in the Victoria and Albert museum's sculpture gallery.

 The drawing was realised in wax by a Royal College of Art trained miniaturist sculptor, then cast using the ancient lost-wax technique.   The horse is  naturally modelled, and posed in 'piaffe' ( a trot in place) where the  horse displays elevated, cadenced steps.  This movement showcases the horse's strength, balance and diciplined training.  It's flowing mane is swept to one side and it is finely detailed with forlocked legs and elegant hooves.

Drawing inspiration from the Georgian era’s fascination with animals and symbolism, the locket is designed to house treasured mementos, a loved ones hair, private love note or secret code. The chain sits at the sternum and  is visible when worn with an open shirt or can be layered with shorter pendants and chains.
