Hiho launches new equestrian themed collection of jewellery for horse lovers
(02/06/2010)

Emily is the daughter of Olympic event rider Mary King and looks certain to follow in the footsteps of her mother. She has shown natural talent in Three Day Eventing on her six year old bay gelding, Mr Hiho – sponsored by Hiho, which is where the relationship began.

Emily King has teamed up with Hiho to design a stunning new equestrian themed collection of jewellery, which will be launched at Bramham International Horse Trials from 3-6 June.

The collection includes some striking silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings, incorporating a few eye-catching turquoise and amethyst stones specially chosen in Emily’s Hiho cross country colours. The jewellery features horse shoes, stirrups and riding boots, all cleverly integrated into the designs, and is sure to be popular with horse lovers and riding enthusiasts of all ages.

Andrew Ransford, Managing Director of Hiho comments, “Emily approached us for sponsorship and as we’re all huge supporters of anything equestrian, we were delighted to get involved. As we got to know Emily better, we realised how passionate and creative she is, so we suggested developing a jewellery range together. Emily worked with my sister Caroline to design the range and we’re absolutely delighted with the results, which looks both sophisticated and has a touch of fun about it.”

An unlucky fall has seen Emily out of action in recent weeks but she’s now on the steady road to recovery so will be back in the saddle in no time. And on the positive side, as she says, it has meant she’s had lots of spare time to focus on the jewellery range!

Emily says, “Our jewellery collection is amazing! I have always admired Hiho’s jewellery and creative ideas so to be part of the design process was incredibly exciting for me and an enormous honour. I’m really impressed to see how the designs have come to life from our original sketches and I really hope other people will love them as much as I do. I just can’t stop trying them on and showing them off to all my friends!”

The Emily King Collection incorporates a wide range of styles and stunning designs, which have real substance, particularly in view of the fact it is the first time that Hiho and Emily have worked together on such a project.

It will be available to pre-order online from 1 June 2010.
