The Teardrop Horsehair Keychain is a wonderful way to remember your special horse. They also make a great zipper pull! They can be made using the round braid and the square braid. Each braid will easily accommodate multiple tails if you have more than one horse. The Teardrop Horsehair Keychain is made using silver plated hardware. NO TARNISH stainless steel is an upgrade option. The keychains can also be ordered with a custom name charm available in Stainless Steel and Pewter. See Charms to add a charm to your design.
Teardrop Horsehair Keychains require a pinkie finger size bundle of hair at least 12-15 inches long. You can send your special horse's tail hair, or you can choose to use my in-stock tail hair available in several different colors listed in the tail hair options at no additional charge.
Please leave me a message in the Additional Instructions box if there is something I need to know about your order.
Warranty Information:
All items created by DnA Braided Treasures are covered under warranty. I will repair damaged hardware, replace lost charms, etc. under normal wear and tear. Repairs are free. All I ask is that you cover the shipping charges. Replacement of lost charms or hardware may be subject to an additional fee.
What to expect when you order:
Each product listing contains an estimate of how much hair is be needed for the design you have chosen. You can choose to send in your own horse hair, or you may choose to have your piece created with my stock tail hair in your choice color(s). If you send in your own horse hair, any unused hair will be returned with your finished order.
Washing Instructions:
Washing the hair before mailing is not required but is appreciated. Please wrap a rubber band around the cut end of the bundle. Wash with regular people shampoo or blue Dawn. NO conditioner or Show Sheen. It makes the tail hair very slick and difficult to work with. Comb out the washed hair and lay flat to dry. Then place it in a zip lock bag with your name, phone number and order number written on the bag. Then place in the mailing envelope. Please DO NOT ship damp hair. It can mold in the plastic bag and become ruined.
How to mail:
Please mail using a mailer with tracking via USPS (United States Postal Service). Tracking will allow you to verify when the package arrives. Please make sure that the name listed at checkout is the name listed on the return address section of the package, as this will ensure that I know the horse hair is yours upon arrival.
Production Times:
My current estimated production time is approximately 1-4 weeks after receipt of your tail hair. Turnaround depends on how many orders are in production when your tail hair arrives. During the busy holiday season turnaround times can take up to 4-8 weeks. To guarantee receipt of your Christmas order I recommend ordering in October or early November. If you need your order by a certain date, I will do my best to accommodate you. There is a $40 charge for RUSH orders. You will receive an email confirming receipt of your tail hair. At that time I will give you a better estimate of when you can expect work to begin on your keepsake. Once your order is finished you will receive an email containing tracking information for your order. All orders are shipped with tracking via USPS. Orders over $250 will require a signature upon delivery.
