2014: Year of the Horse Jewelry

A new year has rolled around and the Chinese Zodiac has dubbed 2014 the Year of the Horse. According to the zodiac, those born in the year of the horse are energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. Sounds pretty good, right?

Here are my top choices for "Year of the Horse" jewelry. I am favoring the more subtle take on the horse trend with horseshoe jewelry. These horsey jewels would make the perfect gift for an expectant momma, anyone with a special year ahead, or those needing a little more good luck!
