My Two Passions: Horses and Jewelry
I am a third-generation retail jeweler. My grandfather, Joseph Menczer, opened a jewelry store on East Tremont Avenue in the Bronx, New York, in the 1930s. My father, James (known as Jesse), continued in the family business. Growing up, I spent weekends and holidays working in the store—it was our family tradition.
From the very start, I was horse crazy. My love affair with horses began at an early age: stuffed horses, toy ponies, and picture books filled with colorful illustrations of majestic stallions and gentle mares. That fascination only grew, fueled by visits to local stables and countryside outings where I’d yell “horsey!” every time we passed a field.
I took riding lessons at local barns and attended the Captain Collins School of Equitation, a summer camp run by an ex-British cavalry officer. It was run like boot camp—we galloped through the woods, charged up sand dunes, and jumped classic New England stone walls. As I grew older, I transitioned to Dressage and competed in both Dressage and costume classes (yes, I won my costume classes!). These days, I enjoy leisurely trail rides—still horse crazy.
Jamie's Horse Jewelry's Beginnings.
That passion for horses is what inspired Jamie’s Horse Jewelry. When I realized I could set up my own website, I jumped at the chance to combine my two greatest loves: jewelry and horses.
From my grandfather and father, I learned that loyal customers come from a foundation of integrity, craftsmanship, and personalized service. My commitment to quality, authenticity, and customer satisfaction honors their legacy.
Whether you're looking for a horse necklace, a horse-themed engagement ring, a snaffle bit bracelet, or horseshoe nail earrings, I take pride in offering a wide selection. I hope each piece helps my customers express their individuality and find that one treasure that truly resonates with their soul.
