Offering fine and costume jewelry for the equestrian or fashionable spectator.

Exotic pearls: Pearls may just be the hottest thing going. Reasonably priced with availability in a variety of hues and sizes, pearls offer a wealth of options. And nothing matches the shine of crystals quite the way the luster of a real pearl can! An Artful Image has the finest quality pearls in white, off-white, yellow, pink, black, and the rare blue-black.

• For a tailored, classic look, consider a pair of large pearl stud earrings for your hunt seat classes. Ask An Artful Image for assistance if you need help determining if you are warm or cool toned and then select a pair from white to pink that most flatter your skin tone.

• Just like a little black dress, every showgirl's favorite chaps are black. And, many of us wear a black hat. It's easy to add major class and luster to your outfit - you don't even have to change colors. To make the black ensemble stand out from the crowd, match a lustrous double or triple-strand black pearl necklace with your favorite western show blouse for an immediately updated look.

Gemstones with meaning: Quality gemstones in every color of the rainbow allow the fashionable showgirl to remember the golden rule of dressing for the horse show: accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Jewel tones look great on just about every color of horse and it's simple to match beautiful, real gems to your show outfit without breaking the bank.

• If your outfit is brown, rust, or copper based, try turquoise. Turquoise is available in blue to green shades and flatters the earthtones in a really unique way. For something truly one of a kind, try Jade. Look at the rich blue jade beads in the photos on this page. Yes, those are real jade, and yes, they are blue. 

• Also available in the more traditionally known shades of green, Jade has a truly luminescent quality and is unique in the show pen. Because of the soft color of Jade, it is perfect with teal, metallics, and on mature showgirls.

• Pink is a hot trend in the show pen this season. Keep your jewelry up to date with Garnet or Rubies to match. Paired with Diamonds or Opals, these two red-based gemstones can perk up a pink outfit like nobody's business! And, Opals look fantastic with AB crystals.
