How a Buckle is Made

First Carved in Wax
My designs begin with an idea, and a photo as guidance. I usually start with a buckle if the design will be a series. Here was a requested Warmblood Horse. It was critiqued by an FEI rider for correctness of position of the Piaffe. This design has been so popular it kicked off a large Piaffe Series from Buckles down to right and left earrings.
Piaffe Horse Series

Piaffe Horse Squared Pendant
After a Buckle is completed, smaller and smaller versions are developed from Medallions all the way down to earrings, including rght and left versions.

Piaffe Horse Earrings Squared with Gem Drops
These earring are available as many combinations as a stud, as a lever back, and with various gem drops.

Piaffe Horse Small Round Pendant
This design has been so well received, Tempi offers a round and square version in the series. This necklace has 5 --3/8 inch round petite size Piaffes in Sterling Silver.
