Horse Brushstroke Necklace

Inspired by the expressive energy of Chinese watercolor paintings, the Horse Brushstroke Necklace captures motion and strength in a striking, fluid and sculptural form. The horse pendant was hand carved with liquid, brushstroke-like contours and dimensional depth, conveying what the horse symbolizes in Chinese culture: strength, vitality, protection and prosperity. The asymmetry of the chains makes the piece feel even more striking.

Handcrafted in New York with love, the Horse Brushstroke Necklace was originally carved by hand in wax, then cast in recycled metal, polished and assembled by hand.

Each piece is handmade to order and will take an average 7-14 business days to arrive to you.

You can use the polishing cloth that comes with your piece on SUBLIMA components that are 100% recycled brass or recycled sterling silver. Avoid using the polishing cloth on components that are gold-filled or gold-plated.

Don't wash your polishing cloth, which contains special cleansing agents that are micro-abrasive.

Over time, your jewelry will come into contact with moisture and oils from your skin and the air, which exposes the metal to oxygen, causing oxidation. The result is that jewelry can appear less shiny, which is why we provide a polishing cloth with every piece. It's the most effective and efficient after testing all the DIY options.

In addition to using the polishing cloth, here’s how you can help preserve the jewelry's shine:

• Apply lotion, perfume or hairspray before putting on your jewelry.
• Remove your jewelry before working out, swimming or showering.
• Minimize contact with hard surfaces to prevent scratching.
• Store your jewelry in its velvet baggie.

Because our pieces are made to order, it takes 7-14 days to make and deliver your jewelry. Pieces that are in stock and ready to ship will be delivered sooner. Standard shipping on all U.S. orders is free via USPS Priority Mail. You can also pay for expedited options.

If you'd like to process a return for a refund, or exchange, you can email hey@sublimajewelry.com within 30 days of receiving your order.

Our recycled metals are sourced from a New York-based refiner called United Precious Metal Refining, Inc., which is certified for products with 100% recycled content. Metal recycling conserves natural resources, energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Recycled Brass: A brighter and whiter version of the yellow metal that resembles 14k gold when polished. Brass is a copper and zinc alloy, and our version uses a lower level of copper, which makes the brass brighter.

Recycled Sterling Silver: Our sterling silver is deoxidized, which has a higher resistance to tarnish.

Components—Gold-Filled, Gold-Plated, Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel: For earring components and necklace findings, we use gold-filled or sterling silver. For necklace chains, we use gold-filled, gold-plated and stainless steel. Gold-filled items are made with a solid layer of gold constituting 5% of the item’s weight, on a base of brass or stainless steel. Gold plating refers to a thinner layer of gold that’s applied to the surface of brass or stainless steel.
