The Irons — English Stirrup Equestrian Necklace
Anyone who grew up in the barn knows the magic of early morning mist in the pasture, the warm scent of saddle soap and sweet feed, and the quiet partnership between a rider and a horse who trusts her completely. Once you are a horse girl, the barn is in your blood for life.
Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The Irons shapes a classic English riding stirrup with an open center arch and 0.4 mm laser-etched tread pad from solid 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. Real weight for women who don’t do flimsy—mounted on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood gift card.

Ships in 5 business days on a custom-engraved 3.0" × 3.0" blonde maple card with Free Lifetime Replacement (concierge@vellamereandco.com).
