AFTER 30 years in business, Hiho Silver, continues to create artisanal jewellery "made by horse owners for horse owners".
Founded at Forde Abbey, and now based on the Blackdown Hills in Somerset, Hiho Silver is designed to take you "from mucking out, to going out" and started with the mission to create jewellery that could be worn daily in the countryside.
This has remained the cornerstone of the brand’s identity, inspiring collections that are steeped in the heritage and traditions of equestrian and country life.
A spokesperson said: "Hiho Silver embodies the spirit of the equestrian lifestyle through "meticulously" designed pieces that resonate with both elegance and authenticity.
"These exquisite pieces of jewellery are eclectically inspired by the beauty of the countryside and the rich equestrian culture which resides there.
"This is demonstrated in the stunning 30th anniversary collaboration with Stevenson Brothers who are renowned for creating beautiful rocking horses."
Through this collaboration, there will be the opportunity to win a grey rocking horse - the inspiration for which came from Hiho Silver’s ‘King of the road’ Andrew Ransford’s own horse, Brian.
A Hiho spokesperson added: "This charming piece is hand-painted, mounted on an oak stand with a classic blend of traditional and modern style to fit with many interior settings."
Emma Warren, managing director said: “At Hiho Silver, quality is not just a standard; it is a commitment. Every piece of our jewellery is handcrafted using the finest materials, including sterling silver, gold, and precious gemstones, ensuring durability and timeless beauty.
"After 30 years of business which has seen the brand grow from strength to strength, it is important to our small team that our jewellery continues to marry the elegance of traditional equestrian motifs with contemporary fashion trends - from the iconic snaffle bracelets to intricately designed horse head pendants.
"Hiho silver has also been committed to giving back to the community, supporting several charitable causes that align with its values for the last 30 years."
Among these, Hiho Silver is a supporter of the Willberry Wonder Pony Charity, which funds research into osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, and grants horse-related wishes to seriously ill young people.
Hiho Silver has also extended its support to World Horse Welfare, an international charity dedicated to improving the lives of horses through rescue, rehabilitation, education, and campaigning for better welfare standards.
