Tarrag Naegel is my own brand of British, hand finished 
Farriers nail inspired equestrian jewellery.


​​Hello and a warm welcome to my website. If you have not seen my range before,  I will explain a little about what I design,manufacture, sell and why.  I need to let you know,  you can only buy direct from myself via this website or from my trade stand at equestrian events. I work with one exceptional silversmith, one amazing engraver and the best family of fellow equestrians of all disciplines. All my items are hallmarked, hand finished and are 100% British manufacture this ensures they the quality that  I am happy to put my name to.

When had my own shops selling other brands, I had discovered that jewellery is less about the price tag but what it means to the person who wears it or buys it. I had made a farriers nail necklace for a young lady in 2008 and thought   
" Wow  what a great shape, just think of the things you could do with that"...

Time passed and I often thought about that nail and the poem above, that wee nail the thing that holds everything together.  It just took meeting a less than honest supplier who tried to pass off Mexican silver as Scottish some eight years later to make me cross enough to put my daft idea into practice.  Tarrag Naegel was born in 2016,  if there is no nail in the design it is not my jewellery. Each Collection has been inspired by my journey from shops to fields and the  amazing experience that has been.  These are just my own  inspiration, when you own a piece of Tarrag Naegel  jewellery  its significance  will be of  your own making. Every piece is hand made to be as individual as you are.

The collections :-

Classic Tarrag Naegel Collection
 Based on straight farriers nails for me they hold everything together a direct reference to" For the want of a nail", for some they relate to nails and their beliefs. Hence my  beautiful Cross design, for me they will always be the acorn which grew into a Forrest.

The Farriers Loop Collection 
Based on a looped  farriers nail representing a circle. My life has proved to be a circle,  so many people have come back into my life. Since I took the range out to shows in 2016 I have met people I worked with in my 20's, people I pony clubbed with in my teens, even a midwife who helped deliver my daughter 25 years ago!

The Stirrup Collection
Inspired by a challenge from a customer who wanted stirrups. I would only make them if I could keep my nails in there.
so they hide discreetly on the side of the stirrups overshadowed by the authentic treads. For me I always see the stirrup as stability, as a good rider you should not be lost without them but  as stabilizers they sure help.

With a Twist Collection
​After a few requests for something contemporary I went with a twisted nail. After all as all women of a certain age I can be a little twisted. I think that maybe a result of  the life of a show gypsy being part of  the fabulous community of traders who travel  British Eventing , Horse Racing, Agricultural shows. The humor is dark, the gin is abundant and the support is just wonderful. 

Spur of the Moment Collection
Following a difficult  personal year I wanted to make something that would demonstrate  the importance moving forwards and overcoming adversity. Something with impulsion but keeping those nails to hang on to. I love my little spur range and having heard the stories of those who have bought it, I am certain it has inspired others.

The perfect Plait Collection - coming soon
​We all need something to aspire to, we all wanted to win that best turned out prize. So what better than a perfect plait. Not my idea but it has been a challenge again from a regular customer but the first prototypes are in place and I  should be ready to launch in the spring of 2020

I am always ready to hear your ideas and love to hear your stories. My job is a real privilege I am the keeper of stories and the maker of memories. I don't employ others as I like to give you my time and experience to ensure you get the best service I can give you.  If there is someone on my stand they will be a relative or friend who has given their time to support my business. The website is not perfect, the trade stand is sometimes a little chaotic and I maybe windswept and interesting. However I promise to do my best for you  and I hope you love my Jewellery.
