This one is baby blue but you can't really see it:

Again this is baby pink but it's hard to see in a picture:

Mine isn't subtle but I have a white hoss so his is red clear and blue and it looks stunning on him due to the lack of face markings. Have to say I'm always tempted to stick with clear crystals or white/cream pearls when it comes to bays!
 
Brass clincher: cheap & looks lovely - although I don't seem to have any good pics! :(

ShowQuest Italian Diamante Browband

Now up for sale because I think it clashes a bit with his summer orangeness! :o

Chain personalised browband... This came to about £60 with the most expensive part actually getting it engraved properly rather than the not so nice scratchy type engraving. Love it though :D

Years ago before bling became fashionable I had my saddler make one with brass plug chain laid into the brow band. It's still going strong and is subtle bling!

Have to say I do like the all-sparkly one on the bay with the blue rosette :0)
 
Excuse me looking super grumpy it was possibly his worst test so far as he was being super un co-operative :o

Pearl and diamante browband on the horse it was intended for:

Then on my other horse:

Doesnt look quite as good on her- going to get a simple line or 2 of small diamonds as think it will suit her better.
 
My friend has a business called design a bridle and has loads of really good quality bling with bespoke browbands. She does v shaped, normal, and wave. You can choose what colour leather, weather to have white padding behind, how many rows of bling and a selection of bling ot choose from. Her web site is designabridle.com. I have a v shaped bridle on order and getting ready to order a new bridle in new year. She works really hard to get it right. Call her for a ring :)

Sorry no photos but mines an Elevator browband with diamantes and is very tasteful and not too OTT, a bit like Frodo Beutlins second photo from the top (handsome/pretty horse by the way FB).
 
ordered a diamante one from Elevator on Saturday - my first ever bling bling! Just got to get the restof the bridle to go with it - in the meantime it'll have to slum it on my old headpiece of many years!
 
PS - that is the exact browband I have been searching for! But I can't find it available :(

I dont have any pics, but we currently have a custom wave chain one in gold for the brown bridle, and a (very very nice!) Otto Schumacher bearl one:

which is gorgeous for the black one. But as most of my sparkly things are gold, I want the OS mesh for the black bridle but can't find it :eek:
 
To be quite honest CWA I've heard less than good reports about that make of bridle. Why not try something similar from the other manufacturers?
