Necklace:
Another popular choice in show jewelry is a necklace. It can be a simple design or more on the elaborate side. Most popular in recent trends have been the use of necklaces with large and flashy pendants.
These pendants can be made of different base materials such as silver or gold. They can also contain stones or rhinestones in clear or various colors to match your outfit.

Bracelet:
Though you may find many bracelets available for sale in various catalogs, they aren't widely used as horse show jewelry. Mostly because your outfit will cover your wrist and therefore the bracelet.
If you are looking at a bracelet, do so with the intention to wear it more outside the show ring.
Ring:
There are also some wonderful rings available. They are not popular horse show jewelry purchases, but they can add a little something extra to your outfit.
Plan on picking something that matches well with the colors you are showing in and make sure the ring does not overpower your hand.
English
There is not much selection in horse show jewelry for the english discipline. This is a very classic and traditional form of showing and not much has changed in recent years in terms of style.Earrings:
Unlike western, the english discipline usually requires more of a classic look. You can easily find a pair of earrings to blend well in both disciplines.
Keep it simple when shopping no oversized or dangle earrings and you should be fine.
Stock/Stick Pins:
This is a piece of show jewelry that goes on the front collar of your show shirt. You can go for a simple stick pin or get a little more creative with a stock pin.
The stock pins tend to have more of a design to them. For example you can find pins with snaffle bits, horse shoes, and horse designs. You may even be able to find something with small stones.
No matter what you are shopping for, just make sure your selections coordinate well with your outfit and you'll shine in the ring!
