What Are Equilibrium Bangles? The Benefits of Copper & Magnetic Jewellery
If you love equestrian jewellery but want something that offers a little more than simply looking beautiful, meet the Pegasus Equilibrium Bangle.
Since launching our Equilibrium collection, one of the questions we’re asked most often is: what does an Equilibrium Bangle actually do?
Our Equilibrium Bangles combine contemporary equestrian jewellery with two materials that have been used in wellbeing jewellery for generations: copper and magnets.
Hidden beneath the smooth enamel exterior is a copper core with neodymium magnets, while the outside features our signature snaffle-inspired detailing. The result is a piece of jewellery designed to look elegant enough to wear every day, while incorporating the traditional principles behind copper and magnetic bracelets.
What is a magnetic copper bangle?
Copper bangles and magnetic bracelets have been worn for generations by people looking for a natural addition to their everyday wellbeing routine.
Our Equilibrium magnetic bangles take that traditional concept and give it a distinctly equestrian update.
Rather than looking like a conventional copper or magnetic bracelet, the copper is concealed beneath a smooth enamel finish and complemented by snaffle detailing.
So unless you tell someone, they would simply think you were wearing a beautiful piece of equestrian jewellery.
Why do people wear copper bangles?
Copper bracelets have a surprisingly long history and remain popular today, particularly among people with active lifestyles.
People traditionally choose copper bangles for wellbeing, joint comfort and general everyday wellness. You'll often see them worn by riders, golfers, gardeners and others whose hands and joints are constantly active.
For us, incorporating copper into the Equilibrium Bangle was about taking that traditional idea and creating something our customers would genuinely want to wear.
The copper forms the core of the bangle, so you can enjoy the concept behind traditional copper jewellery without sacrificing style.
What do the magnets in an Equilibrium Bangle do?
Each Pegasus Equilibrium Bangle also contains neodymium magnets.
Magnetic jewellery has traditionally been worn by people seeking to support circulation, comfort, recovery and general wellbeing, particularly as part of an active lifestyle.
Neodymium magnets are extremely strong for their size, which means we can incorporate them discreetly into the bangle without compromising its elegant appearance.
While individual experiences vary and magnetic jewellery shouldn't be considered a medical treatment, its enduring popularity is one of the reasons we chose it for the Equilibrium collection.
Why are Equilibrium Bangles particularly popular with equestrians?
Quite simply: riders are hard on their bodies.
Whether you're mucking out, carrying water buckets, riding several horses, competing, driving or spending an entire day on your feet at a show, an equestrian lifestyle is an active one.
We wanted to create a bangle that fitted naturally into that world.
Our Equilibrium Bangle combines the traditional appeal of a copper magnetic bracelet with subtle equestrian styling. Instead of producing something that looked like a sports or therapy bracelet, we designed a piece of jewellery we'd actually want to wear ourselves.
The snaffle detailing gives a subtle nod to horses without being overly obvious, making it equally at home with riding clothes, jeans and a jumper or something smarter.
Can I wear my Equilibrium Bangle every day?
That's exactly how we designed it to be worn.
The Equilibrium collection was created as everyday equestrian jewellery, something you can reach for in the morning and wear as part of your normal jewellery collection.
They have become particularly popular as gifts for horse riders and horse lovers, because they combine a recognisably equestrian design with something a little different from a traditional snaffle bracelet.
Which Equilibrium Bangle should I choose?
This might be the hardest part.
Our Equilibrium Bangles are available in a growing collection of colours and metal finishes, allowing you to choose something that works with your own style.
Prefer timeless equestrian colours? Navy, taupe and burgundy are beautiful choices.
Want something a little different? Our brighter shades add colour while retaining the same elegant snaffle design.
And with both silver and gold-toned Equilibrium Bangles, you can choose a finish to complement the jewellery you already wear.
More than just equestrian jewellery
Pegasus was created by equestrians, for equestrians, and that's at the heart of the Equilibrium collection.
We wanted something that combined our love of equestrian jewellery with the longstanding tradition of copper and magnetic bangles, without looking clinical or compromising on style.
The result is a bangle that's become one of our most recognisable designs.
A copper core. Neodymium magnets. Smooth enamel. Signature snaffle detailing.
Beautiful jewellery with a little something extra.
