"Children and animals are a real treasure to photograph – spontaneous, honest, and full of life and movement." Heidi Immaisi

When your own horse is no longer with you, the saved tail hair is too short, or you would like to give a truly unique (business) gift, then a nannasalmi ‘ready to wear’ horsehair jewellery piece is a beautiful and effortless solution. Easy. Fast. Yet just as meaningful.

A horse and winter are a good combination in terms of the well-being of the forest. The icy ground protects the roots of the trees, and the passage of a horse in the forest does not damage the soil. A horse can also travel through a denser forest than a machine, so when working with a horse there is no need for clearcutting.

Gigja Einarsdottir is an Icelandic photographer who was born and raised among Icelandic horses. She captures both the nature of the horses and the beautiful Icelandic landscape so that you immediately see the connection between the breed and the nature surrounding it. We hope you enjoy her talent.

"I find these rather rare breeds interesting. They are worth treasuring and as cold-blood horses they are calm, easy to handle, friendly and versatile in use."

What to keep in mind when buying horsehair jewellery and comparing prices? The price range is wide, and sometimes it can be difficult to understand why two pieces that look and feel essentially similar can be priced so differently. Here are the most important aspects to pay attention to. All of them have a decisive impact on the price of a piece of jewellery.

The shape of a stirrup is classic and instantly recognizable, and it’s widely used in all kinds of equestrian-inspired design: jewellery, textile prints, home décor products and more. Of course, we wanted to include this beautiful shape in our collection as well.

The heart is an eternal symbol of love, which is why it appears in many nannasalmi horsehair jewellery designs, bracelets and rings.

Inspired by a Christmas dessert, we created a special Christmas cocktail for Nanna. It’s a striking combination of sweet and sour, creamy and fresh. Horse lovers naturally give their cocktails horse-themed names: the first sip of this drink makes you pause for a moment, and with the second sip the journey continues again. That’s why it’s called Piaffe.

"I´m giving her the bracelet for her 16th birthday. I have loved your bracelets since I bought one made from my own horse over ten years ago!"

What special we could offer to show jumpers? Of course a horsehair ring with a cavaletti-inspired motif that suits both men and women.

When you touch your horse’s soft muzzle, stroke its back, or breathe in its scent with your cheek against its cheek, you feel it: the overwhelming affection and love you have for your horse. To symbolize this feeling Nanna Salmi designed the horsehair bracelet Puella with a heart for the collection.

In the nannasalmi collection you will find, among others, these three beautiful rings with a 6 mm wide woven ribbon.

In the beginning of November, a few years ago, we published a photo collage on our Facebook page and Instagram. Soon there was a comment from Nancy.

A horsehair bracelet is more than just a beautiful piece of jewellery. It’s part of a story that continues — a symbol of celebration or a source of comfort, depending on where you are on the journey. It travels with you through everyday life and special occasions alike, reminding you of all that the horse has given.

When your own horse passes, what remains is silence, an empty stable, and a longing that nothing seems to fill. Yet sometimes comfort is found in the most unexpected place. Ann-Charlotte found it in jewellery made from Sigge’s tail hair – and in doing so, she found her way back to the world of horses.

When a horse has been by your side for years, sharing competitions, quiet trail rides or everyday moments, the relationship becomes truly special and personal. That’s why many horse lovers choose to keep a piece of that connection – in a tangible form.

Nanna Salmi’s horsehair jewellery collection has been on the market for 25 years now. That’s a long time.
