Horse

The horse, a mythical animal, lived among the gods, sometimes as a winged creature, sometimes in half-human form. Because of its great speed horse has often been associated with light and sun. This mystical horse sets our thoughts a-gallop, makes our minds fly. Noble and wise, the horse has always been a loyal and trusted helper. Today, our close and enduring companionship is best seen in our enthusiasm for horse-related pursuits. The jewellery collection by Kaisaleena Mäkelä draws on a thousand-year-old horse motif from the region of Perm in the Ural mountains of Russia.
