Front Toggle Chunky Horse Necklace Bronze Clay Antique Replica Crown of Grace Designs

This Antique French Horse Medal Necklace is a bold, handcrafted statement necklace inspired by early 1900s equestrian medals from France. It would make the most treasured gift for a horse lover! The piece features a detailed horse portrait medal inscribed “Société Hippique Française”, faithfully replicated in solid bronze clay and finished by hand in my studio.
The chunky cable chain adds vintage strength and modern edge, while the etched bail and designer clasp closure give this necklace the look of a luxury piece. Each medal is kiln-fired, polished on raised areas, and left matte in the recessed details to highlight its antique texture and patina.

Made with tarnish-resistant materials, this necklace combines timeless French design with everyday durability — perfect for horse lovers, equestrian enthusiasts, and collectors of vintage-inspired jewelry.
Wear it layered with other chains or solo as a statement piece that tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship.

Handmade in my studio

Each antique medal in my Crown of Grace collection was lovingly searched for according to it’s age, shape, subject matter, and rarity. Many of the medals used during my hand replicating process are over a century old. I reproduce each piece by making a mold, hand pressing small batch bronze clay into the mold, drying, and kiln firing at 1420 degrees in a double carbon process. Each medal is hand wire brushed to give them a matte gold base and polished on the high relief areas to give them a luxurious Baroque light gold finish.

The chains that I use in my designs are hand selected to compliment the medals. They have a double layer of tarnish resistant matte finish for durability. In addition, they are nickel, cadmium, & lead free.
