Testimonials from Horsefest Customer

Testimonials From Our Customers

Over the last 40 plus yeas we have made many special items for our customers.  They are usually very  happy with the item they receive or of course we would remake and redesign until they are VERY HAPPY!  That does sometimes happen and when it does we strive to achieve what the customer is expecting and will use and enjoy.

Sometimes, a customer is so pleased with the item they receive that we get a very special note from them expressing their gratitude and appreciation of the art that has be designed for them.  This blog section is dedicated to those customers and the praise they have for our wire artists.

I will be adding new items as they come to me.  Thank you for taking the time to read some of what has been said about Wire Works Custom Jewelry.

From the Horsefest in Springfield, MO 2010

During the show one of the other vendors brought Jim a very beautiful carving of a horse head done on Mother of Pearl.  It belonged to a friend of hers and she was looking for someone to design a special “bale” for this unique drop.  Jim felt he could make a wonderful bale without damaging this one of a kind item.  The next day he went to work.  After finishing the bale and finding out that it was for a horse the lady had lost, he decided not to charge for the work he had done.

After returning from our next show, Equine Affaire, I received the following email.

Do you remember making a custom made bail for Hope Gerdes at HorseFest in Springfield, Missouri this year?  It was put onto a piece of mother of pearl with an illustration of my mare (PC’s) head on it.  This note is being sent to you from a VERY GRATEFUL friend.

I’ve purchased several pieces of wire art from you folks through the years.  Purchasing a new cross hat pin whenever I see you at a show.  I’ve given those as gifts to my friends through the years, you all do such beautiful work.  Anyway, when Hope, www.highhopesdesigns.com, told me that you were the good people who she took my precious piece to – to have the bail made.  I was thrilled!!!!!!!!  The finished piece is just gorgeous!  I wear it all of the time!  I would love to send you something for doing that for me, and at the very least send you a photo of the finished piece on me (my husband likes it so much that he wanted to take a photo to show the guys he works with.  By the way he NEVER does that!!!!!).  My name is Chris Kaegi-Stephens, and I’m the Regional Director for the Kansas Horse Council.  I send out over 400 emails to people in the region of Kansas that covers the 13 counties surrounding (and including) Wichita.  I’ve added your web address to the list of recommended web addresses for the horse friends who receive my periodic KHC eNews emails.  I hope that will please you, and that you get several responses and purchases from listing it.  I love you guys so much for creating this beautiful bail completing this gorgeous piece of jewelry for me.  You all are just the best.  God’s testimony of love certainly lives through you and your family!

From a grateful customer and friend, God’s blessing to you all!

I am waiting on the picture and will add it to the post when it arrives.

Wire Works Forms Strategic Parthership with Equinite Gems

Exciting New Strategic Partnership with Equinite^TM Gems

While working our Wire  Works Custom Jewelry booth at the Equine Affaire in Columbus last week, Jim and I had the opportunity to meet a talented jeweler named Robert Merkert.  Bob has developed a new type of gem that is very unique and absolutely beautiful.  He has taken the trimming from a horses hoof, cut and polished a small section and created a beautiful gem.  This is quite a feat and we are delighted to announce that we will be offering some of Bob’s gems at our future shows.  Bob and his assistant Debra Adler will be showing some of the gems mounted in our settings at their upcoming shows, as well.

I am very excited to be working with these two talented people and believe that the relationship will be profitable for both businesses.

How Equinite^TM Began

Treasures can be discovered in some unexpected places. Equinite was discovered on the stall floor in a Brandon, Vermont barn.

The farrier came to trim the horse’s hooves. When he was finished, a beam of sunlight illuminated the wet trimmings revealing depth and inner beauty. Equinite was discovered!

Horse hooves are as diverse as horses they are trimmed from. The uniqueness of each hoof results in a one of a kind, handcrafted gem.  Equinite is also a wonderful keepsake from your own horse! Custom created
gems are placed in a 14k gold or sterling silver setting of your choice.

What is Equinite?

Equinite looks like a newly discovered gem stone but it is actually made from the trimmings of a horse hoof. These clippings have been discarded for years by horse lovers and are often seen on the floor in stables and stalls. We have unlocked the inner beauty of this cast off treasure and named it Equinite.
