Glamorous Equestrian Accessories

Ride Off with the Playful New Birgit Marie Schmidt Line

— July 20, 2011 — Fashion
The new 'I Can't Seem to Get Rid of the Horses' line of accessories by Birgit Marie Schmidt is the perfect mix of whimsical childhood memories and glamorous grown-up style. Her beautifully crafted rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets are impossible to resist, whether or not you grew up dreaming of magical ponies and horses. A recent graduate of the Royal College of Art London, Schmidt carefully handcrafted each piece.

The collection's name is just as unique as the jewelry itself. Birgit Marie Schmidt explains, "At the beginning of this project I had no intention of using animal symbols or shapes, actually I rather disliked the idea. But the horses kept coming back, hence the name."

The playful horse-inspired pieces are charming and elegant. The two-fingered rings are especially extraordinary, mixing sophistication with the perfect amount of edge. I'm sure this is only the beginning of many incredible collections by Birgit Marie Schmidt.
