Horsehair rings Saudia, Leyla and Marieke

In the nannasalmi collection you will find, among others, these three beautiful rings with a 6 mm wide woven ribbon. The total width of the rings is 8.8 mm. The ring Saudia is also well suited for men.

Saudia Saudia received its name from the favourite horse of Abdullah bin Mutaib al-Saud (Prince Abdullah). He wore the golden Saudia during the prize-giving ceremony at the London Olympics in 2012, when the Saudi Arabian show jumping team won bronze. nannasalmi rings feature a woven ribbon, which is considerably more durable than braided ribbons. The surface is smooth and compact with no loose hairs. We know that the ribbon woven from your own horse’s tail hair is the most valuable part of these pieces for you. That is why we have done our best to protect it. The high edges protect the ribbon from mechanical stress and impacts. On the palm side the ribbon is covered by metal. If something should nevertheless happen to the ribbon, it can be replaced. The ring Leyla is a version of Saudia with one stone. For weaving the ribbon, Nanna needs 40 tail hairs of at least 50 cm in length. If you don’t feel like counting, take a pencil-thick pinch from the tail – that will be enough. The ribbon can also be woven from the hair of several horses.

Leyla In silver rings the stones are Swarovski zirconias (clear, light pink or light blue). In gold or white-gold rings they are a woman’s (second) best friends – diamonds. In Marieke there are three of them.

Marieke When you wish to order a ring, we recommend visiting a local goldsmith to have your correct ring size measured. Try especially thick and solid models. The correct size is extremely important as it unfortunately cannot be changed later because of the structure of the ring and the woven ribbon.
