I recently lost my precious horse of 20 years. I was devastated when I lost
Hammer and Ivy gave me an opportunity to honor my horse's memory by
building beautiful pieces of jewelry to remember him. I purchase a
necklace as well as a bracelet. It is the most comfortable pieces of jewelry I
have ever owned. In addition to comfort, it is a stunning tribute to my
handsome boy and I feel as if I always have him with me. Each piece of
jewelry is well constructed and fits even better with continual wear. Ivy was
so patient while working with me through the tough time of Hammer's
passing. Not only is she a skilled artist, she is a kind and caring person as
well.
Thank you Ivy for all you have done for me!

On June 2, 2008 I had to put my best friend, King, to sleep due
to twisting from colic. King was 23 yrs old and I was there when
he was born and I was there when he passed. It truly was the
hardest thing I’ve ever had to do and I am still in a very numb
state. Ivy helped me to honor my big boy by making some
wonderful pieces of jewelry and other items from King’s mane
and tail. It was very difficult for me to meet with Ivy, but she
really took her time with me and was so patient. She truly
respects you and your horse. I had some ideas in mind for a
couple things that she had never attempted before. She was
excited to try out my ideas and much to my delight, they all
turned out absolutely incredible. I’ve showed all my friends what
Ivy has created for me and like me, we cannot believe the
exceptional and professional work she’s done on these intricate
works of art. I feel fortunate that I at least have a part of King
with me and close. I will forever be indebted to Ivy for all she
has done to help me through this horrible grieving process and I
plan to also have a Christmas gift made for one of my girlfriends
of her horse’s tail and have some more jewelry made with my
other horse’s tail. Once you see Ivy’s work, you just want to
work with her to create more and more. Thank You Ivy for all
that you do for us horse owners to help us pay tribute to our
beloved horses.

While meandering a street fair in Crested Butte, CO this past
August, I had the fortunate experience of meeting Ivy. I was
immediately taken with Ivy & her talents of creating such beautiful &
unique horse hair jewelry. Having never seen anything like this
before, I could not wait to get home to GA in order to trim some of
my Bossy girl's tail to send her straight away. If only I had known
then how special Ivy would soon become. This past October my girl
became very sick & spent 4 incredible weeks fighting with all her
might to survive, we believed we were on the mend. Much to my
great sadness it turned out to be too much for Bossy & we had to
put her to sleep November 12, 08. With her went a very important
piece of my heart. As one of life's coincidences would have it, my
necklace was ready and Ivy called the very day I had to put Bossy to
sleep. Ivy was warm, compassionate & shared some good thoughts
with me & it lifted my spirits to know my finished piece was on its'
way. My necklace arrived 2 days later & I love it! It keeps a piece of
Bossy close to me, in honor of her. The workmanship is absolutely
beautiful, & people notice, I have been asked about it so many times
in just a week. I happily share Ivy's information with my horse loving
comrades.

When our grand old horse, Ivan, died I wanted to have
something special to remember him by. A friend suggested
that I have some jewelry made from his tail. I did some
research on line and really liked what I saw on Ivy's web
site. When I contacted Ivy I found her to be friendly and
helpful. Within a couple weeks of sending Ivan's hair to Ivy
we had our lovely pieces. The jewelry is well crafted and
truly beautiful. The best part is, as Ivy explained, the pieces
are sturdy and durable and meant to be used and worn.
Ivy was a delight to work with.

Hi Ivy,
I just wanted to say “Thank You so much” for the lovely picture pendant
you crafted for me of my Dear boy King. We’re coming up on the one year
anniversary of King’s passing… very hard again… but having this
beautiful picture of him draped around my neck on his horsetail necklace
brings me much comfort. I still miss him terribly, you know that, and your
consideration was once again deeply appreciated. And I still wear his
horsetail bracelet you made for me a year ago… never take it off… he’s
always with me. Thank you again for everything.
Warmly,
Sue Oberly
King
