Charity auction to honour the memory of horse lover

You can win some incredible prizes in our sealed bids auction this October!

We are honoured to have the opportunity to auction off an incredible Ethica Diamonds ring that was originally handcrafted for a lady called Susan Jamieson, CEO of Red Scarf Equestrian in Canada and a passionate advocate for horses.

This stunning 9ct gold horse head ring, adorned with a cascade of diamonds, is a one-of-a-kind piece which was meant to be part of a bespoke horse jewellery collection, that sadly could not be completed before Susan very sadly passed away. This ring is the only piece that had been produced before she died, and so to honour Susan's legacy, Ethica Diamonds have very kindly donated it to Redwings to help us raise funds for our rescued horses.

We are deeply honoured to be able to offer the following prize bundle in our sealed bid auction:

The Ethica Diamonds Ring: This stunning 9ct gold horse head ring, adorned with a cascade of diamonds, is a one-of-a-kind piece crafted in Susan Jamieson’s memory. Each diamond represents her love for horses and her commitment to their well-being. This ring is a meaningful dedication to any horse lover and an elegant addition to any collection. Ring size J.
Special Edition of Black Beauty: In collaboration with the UEA, the prize bundle also includes a copy of our very special edition of Anna Sewell’s timeless classic novel, Black Beauty. This edition features a foreword by Dame Jacqueline Wilson. It’s a celebration of Anna Sewell’s enduring legacy and a testament to her dedication to promoting kindness and understanding towards horses.
A Signed Copy of Homely Ballads and Stories in Verse: The Poetry of Mary Sewell with introduction by Professor Thomas Ruys Smith. Complementing the Black Beauty edition, this book is a literary treasure that brings to light the long forgotten literary legacy of Anna's mother Mary, and is sure to delight book lovers.
A free adoption of our beautiful Black Beauty lookalike Maya.
