Diamanté brow bands and nosebands allowed in dressage?

[Laurenhannahc]

Hello!
I have a question about flashy brow bands and nosebands being used in Prelim up dressage tests.
I was at a show recently and I found the most beautiful bridle I had ever seen, faint pink diamonds imbedded in the noseband and browband. Naturally, I was prepared to cash out the couple hundred to purchase it when my dear sister reminded me that it may not be allowed.

So if anyone knows if a bridle like that would be allowed, please let me know!!! Thank you!

I'm going to go with 'probably' but this is purely based on some of the stuff I see at BD these days! If you want to be really sure then email the BD officer in charge of tack regs with photos of the bridle - they'll tell you if it's allowed. If they say it's allowed I'd also print the email and keep it in my trailer or lorry in case you're challenged about it at shows.

I think it would have been tens of thousands if they were diamonds!
