What Makes Handmade Jewelry Worth It?
In a world of fast fashion and mass production, handmade jewelry stands as a rare and beautiful exception. It isn’t just about adornment — it’s about artistry, story, and soul. At Michel McNabb, every piece of equestrian jewelry is handcrafted with purpose, precision, and passion, making it far more than an accessory.
But what truly makes handmade jewelry worth it? Let’s take a closer look.
1. Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel
When you wear a Michel McNabb bracelet, necklace, or ring, you're wearing a piece that’s been shaped by human hands — not machines. Each design begins with a wax carving or etched sketch, guided by years of fine art training and a deep connection to the equestrian lifestyle.
Unlike factory-made pieces, handcrafted jewelry carries a certain warmth, texture, and individuality. You’re not buying a duplicate; you’re buying a work of wearable art.
2. Unique Designs with Real Meaning
Mass-produced jewelry tends to follow trends. Handmade jewelry follows inspiration.
Michel’s pieces are often inspired by horse silhouettes, stirrups, bits, and even the architecture she encountered during her 18 years in Spain. From the elegant curve of a horse head enamel brooch to the geometric simplicity of stirrup earrings, each piece tells a story — yours and hers combined.
3. Sustainably and Ethically Made
At Michel McNabb, the commitment to ethical craftsmanship runs deep. All pieces are created in small batches with minimal waste, and materials are responsibly sourced. You won’t find fast fashion shortcuts here — only intentional, long-lasting quality.
Shopping handmade means you're supporting an artisan, not a production line. You’re investing in care, sustainability, and creative independence.
4. Custom Jewelry That Reflects You
One of the greatest values of handmade jewelry is the ability to customize your own piece. Whether it's a specific enamel color, an engraved message, or a completely bespoke design, Michel works directly with clients to create personalized heirlooms.
Looking for a gift for a rider, a graduation piece, or a sentimental keepsake? Michel can help you design it from scratch.
5. Built to Last (and Be Passed Down)
Handmade jewelry is built with heirloom quality in mind. Michel’s pieces are forged using traditional methods that ensure durability — whether it's a delicate equestrian ring or a statement necklace. This jewelry isn’t meant to fade. It’s meant to carry memories, just like the generations of horsewomen who wear them.
