EXAMPLE OF COMPLETE CUSTOMIZATION:

Baby Bling Custom Browband
Completely customized Baby Bling in Teal -
This was ordered for a 5 month old weanling that is being presented in a Futurity class. The browband is 12" long with 1" end loops. The client ordered Spring Bling, changed the bead color to Teal, and we scaled down the design with smaller beads so it would look fitting for such a young, small, little baby.

Browbands in tiny sizes start at $145.

Custom Beads

If you request more expensive beads, additional charges may apply. I will contact you after you place your order to go over the customization. Let me know what stones or colors you prefer.

I work with Swarovski crystal and they come in many colors, sizes and shapes. I also have 14k gold plated beads as well as 18k and 24k gold plated Vermeil beads (a sterling silver bead that has been gold plated). I also have fabulous semi-precious stones including but not limited to: lapis, malachite, pearls, jasper, jade, agate, citrine, peridot, coral, amazonite, aventurine, ruby zoisite, quartz, amber, hematite, moonstone, tiger eye, turquoise, amethyst, labradorite, kyanite, mooakite, garnet, obsidian, jet, tourmaline and howlite. I am always on the look out for more and new fabulous beads that are suitable for my work, so you can make suggestions!

What are vermeil beads?

Vermeil is .925 sterling silver, heavily electroplated with 10Kt fineness, or more, of yellow gold. Vermeil products carried by Custom Equine Works are usually in the 18Kt to 24Kt range of fineness. The thickness of the gold electroplate must be a minimum of 2-1/2 microns of fine gold. All Vermeil Beads are directly imported from Bali Indonesia.

What are Hill Tribe Silver beads?

Every bead and component is beautifully hand-crafted by expert silversmiths from the Hill Tribes in Thailand. Made from a higher purity silver than sterling silver, fine silver (93-99%) offers a brilliant metallic luster and a greater resistance to tarnish.

Leather Colors & How to Size

Leather for all browbands can be brown or black. To get the size, measure from end of ear loop to end of ear loop of a current browband that fits your horse. Usually sizes run 15.5" - 17" but ANY size can be done.
