John Medeiros, CEO and designer of the John Medeiros Collection, has long harbored a love of horses. As a young child, he had horses, and would ride them and change the horse shoes. Ever since then, John Medeiros has thought that horses are powerful beings and that the horseshoe symbolizes strength, power, luck, and success. In fact, the shape of the horse shoe naturally inspires his creative process. The anvil collection, currently in the line, uses horseshoes as does the new Laurea bracelet, not yet available in stores.

The Laurea bracelet is a cuff that features interchangeable ends. The bracelet comes in four different styles, one of which is the horseshoe symbolizing luck. The LAUREA bracelet was created as a combined effort between father and daughter, John and Nina. The two wanted to create a piece that would be easily customized to its wearer and the momentous event she was marking by its purchase. The LAUREA bracelet was named for the Italian word meaning graduation and new beginnings, and comes from the same root as Laurel, which is often used to commemorate achievements. This piece is perfect not only for a literal graduation, but to mark an anniversary, wedding, promotion, birthday, or any momentous occasion.

John Medeiros Jewelry is all hand made in the United States by jewelry artisans. All designs are registered, trademarked, and backed by a lifetime guarantee program. The pieces are rhodium and 14kt gold plated and use cubic zirconium, sea shell and freshwater pearls, and Austrian crystals as stones. John Medeiros Jewelry is the fine jewelry alternative–real jewelry hand crafted from non precious metals.

About the photographer Carien Schippers

She has an AAS degree from SUNY Cobleskill in Animal Husbandry and a two year certificate from the New England School of Photography. For many years she was primarily an event and farm photographer, more recently she has been developing an extensive stock archive of horse pictures for publication as well as a fine art print site at horsedrivephotos.com.

As a lifetime student of the horse she excels in capturing the spirit and beauty of the equine and is in constant pursuit of finding fresh, unique and creative perspectives of her subject. She is a keen observer and able to capture the subtle nuances of horse and herd behavior, giving her a highly recognizable style of work that has been widely published in a variety of magazines, calendars, books and catalogs.

Almost every year someone gives me a horse calendar and I never tire of looking at great full color photos of horses. Wild horses running are always a favorite with me.

Two wonderfully generous ladies sent me a few gorgeous horse pictures that I turned into free greeting cards that you can send over the Internet.

Carolyn Grant has a rare black, Egyptian Arabian stallion named, “Saud El Zaghloul”, nicknamed “Z”. He is a dream – tall, dark, handsome, and exotic! Yep, good looking Arabian horses make my heart beat faster. Wish I could see him in the flesh. I added six new horse ecards from five of Z’s photos. They are posted in the following ecard categories: Arabian Horses, Friendship, Wise Words, Happy Holidays, Birthday, and Beauty.

“Z is doing great & just came back from The Miner Institute, NY, where he goes for the breeding season. We are enjoying long trail rides now and we are training over fences again. He’s happy,” says Carolyn Grant.

She also sent me a photo of her past paint horse, “Commander” who had a large white blaze on his face. A wonderful photo of “Miss Sonny” a palomino (color) Quarter Horse galloping and a delightful picture of friend Kristen Traino and her Percheron draft horse Sophie. Deb’s friend Kouros Farro took some of the photos using a Nikon camera. Deb’s photos have been made into cards for the following card categories: Thank you, Happy Birthday, and Friendship.
