<< Sumner Smith
The words "timeless and modern" have probably never been
used to describe horsehair jewelry, but eventer Sumner
Smith's luminous resin custom creations mesmerize us with
their beauty and simplicity. We love how they pick up and
magnify the colors and light around them in a playful and
interesting way. And there's a bonus: Engraving is available,
so you can include your horse's name, special dates, or any
meaningful message you'd like to carry close. Custom brace-
lets start at $49. Etsy.com/shop/SpottedDogAsheville.
