In memory of
a deceased horse
For more than 5,500 years horses have been by our side. What once began as a partnership in work and travel has, for many, become a deep emotional bond. Horses offer trust, strength and a sense of security. They mirror our feelings, accompany us through special stages of life and often become loyal friends. This loss can leave a deep void in one’s life. It is a matter close to our hearts to create mementoes that can help with the grieving process.
What can help when grieving
for a horse?
Everyone grieves differently. Some grieve quietly, others more actively. However someone chooses to grieve, that pain deserves to be respected. There are many who do not need a tangible memento. For others, such a memento can help them to ‘come to terms with’ the death of a beloved horse. We understand the grief of losing a pet very well, because to us, animals are like family members. It is important to us to create something radiant, such as gemstones made from a horse’s hair or ashes – so that the horse that holds a special place in your heart can continue to shine even after its death. And to offer an alternative that might perhaps ease the pain of grief a little.
Crying helps – remembering
can heal.
When you look back, situations that you had long forgotten often come back to mind years later. That is the magic, the radiance, which, following the death of an animal, elevates what has happened to a new level. Just as a beloved horse or a stallion once shone, it can continue to shine within a gemstone. Often, we can transform tail hairs instead of ashes. The elements from the coat, mane, tail or ashes shape the character of every gemstone. That is the magic...

A gem made from
horse ash or horsehair
Worn as a necklace or bracelet, the gem made from horsehair or ashes lies close to the body; likewise, the memory of the deceased horse can be given a permanent place in the home. In this way, the soul horse remains part of life – as a memory, without clinging. The depth in their eyes, the joy of galloping across the meadows: all of this is reflected in the structure and colour spectrum of the sapphire or ruby – in blue, red or natural tones. The gemstone is ready after around 30 working days; the piece of jewellery after around 50 working days.
A memento of one’s soul horse
is more than just a piece of jewellery
Behind every sapphire and ruby from MEVISTO lies a scientifically verified process – ensuring that the keepsake truly contains your own horse’s remains. 50 grams of horse ashes, 10 grams of horse hair (tail or mane) or a mixture of both are sufficient to turn your faithful companion into a lasting memory – crafted with the utmost respect.
A brief enquiry is all it takes – we’ll work together to smooth the way forward so that the
memento is created as quickly as possible. In this way, your beloved horse is given a
lasting place, and your shared stories continue to shine.
