Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another project. Today, I’m diving into the world of horse brooches and pins. Yeah, you heard that right, those little accessories that can add a bit of flair to your outfit. I’ve always been fascinated by these things, especially the ones with a cool, unique vibe, so I thought, why not try to get my hands on some and see what the hype is all about?
So, the first thing I did was to hit up my usual online spots to see what kinds of horse brooches and pins were out there. I browsed through a bunch of shops, checking out the different designs and materials. There were so many options, from simple, elegant pieces to more detailed, handcrafted ones. I saw a wooden horse brooch for around $36, a sterling silver one for $25, and even a small silver or gold one for about $21. There was also something called an “Art Deco Stick Pin,” which looked pretty neat.
After looking around online, I decided to go check out some local craft stores. I figured it would be cool to see these things in person. I went around and looked at some stalls, and I found a bunch of handmade brooches. Some were made from pewter, others from copper, and they had all sorts of designs – Arabian Stallions, Clydesdales, broncos, you name it. Some were shaped like horse heads, others like galloping or jumping horses, and a few were even shaped like horseshoes.
While I was browsing, I stumbled upon this shop that had a bunch of other horse-related stuff too. They had dog collars, leashes, harnesses, and even some clothes for horse riders. It was pretty interesting to see how these brooches and pins fit into a larger world of equestrian gear.
I also noticed that a lot of these brooches and pins were designed to be worn every day, not just on special occasions. There were some really delicate designs, and then there were others that were bolder and made more of a statement. It got me thinking about how these little accessories can really change up an outfit.
After spending a few days exploring, I ended up picking out a few pieces that I really liked. I got a simple pewter pin shaped like a galloping horse, and a more detailed copper brooch with a horseshoe design. I also grabbed one of those Art Deco stick pins, just because it looked cool.
