Who we are

A few years ago, I wanted to give a gift to my husband, who is dedicated to the world of horses, and I thought of giving him a horsehair bracelet.

I couldn't find any. After searching a lot and visiting websites, almost all from Mexico and the US, none of them convinced me, so I took horsehair from the tail of one of our horses and made my first horsehair bracelet.

​

It was a success, my husband loved the bracelet made of the mane of one of our horses. Then some friends wanted the same, then others and others, and that's how Art Wakan was born.

​

My name is Emma and my family owned a jewelry making business so I already had the knowledge and experience in jewelry making.

Although life took me down different paths, I never lost contact with that world, to which I returned a few years ago, closing the circle and now using horsehair as the raw material for my creations.

​

From my workshop in the Pyrenees I create handcrafted pieces of horsehair jewelry that, due to the uniqueness of horsehair and the nature of the designs, are one of a kind.
