A Touch of Smouldering Elegance
There is something undeniably timeless about the combination of clear sparkle and smoky grey tones. Part of our exclusive Colour Streak Collection, this Black Diamond and Clear Crystal Browband is designed for the rider who wants maximum impact without relying on bright colours.
We have crafted this piece to catch the light in a very specific way. By framing the brilliant Clear crystals with an outer edge of Black Diamond, we create a depth of shine that looks sophisticated on any horse coat colour.

The Finer Details: Crystal & Leather Specification
We believe that true luxury lies in the details. This browband is a “Megabling” 3/4 inch width design, featuring five distinct rows of crystals that work in harmony:
The Crystal Layout
The centrepiece of this design is a bold row of 6mm Clear Preciosa Maxima crystals. This is the row that provides that high-impact diamond-like shine. Flanking this centre row on either side are rows of 3mm Clear crystals, which add texture and widen the sparkling band of light. Finally, the design is edged top and bottom with 3mm of sophisticated Black Diamond crystals.
About the Colours:
- Clear: A pure, transparent crystal that mimics the look of a diamond.
- Black Diamond: A smoky, translucent, warm toned grey crystal. It is not solid black (like Jet); rather, it allows light to pass through it, creating a soft, smouldering charcoal sparkle that contrasts beautifully with the silver-plated settings.
Sedgwick English Leather
Traditional J. & E. Sedgwick English Bridle Leather is used in this design. Known as the best vegetable-tanned leather in Britain, it is durable, supple, and has a finish that deepens beautifully over time. You can choose between:
- Black: A deep, true black.
- Dark Havana: A rich, very dark chocolate brown (traditional British tack colour).
Please Note: This specific design is available in our Traditional Standard Loops (closed loops) for a neat, flush fit against the bridle. It is crafted in a Subtle Wave Curve shape that sits elegantly on the horse’s forehead.
If you prefer a straight shape browband please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you but there may be a longer turn around time.
Style Guide: Who suits this look?
Because this browband utilizes neutral tones (Clear and Grey), it is incredibly versatile and will suit most horses, however it is particularly stunning when paired with:
- Greys: The Black Diamond outer row prevents the browband from “disappearing” against a grey coat, providing a nice definition.
- Blacks & Dark Bays: The smoky tones add subtle shimmer with dark coats while the clear centre pops.
- Coloured/Piebalds: A sophisticated choice that doesn’t clash with loud markings.
Complete the Look If you want to create a full matchy-matchy set, this browband pairs beautifully with grey, black, or white saddle pads. Don’t forget, we also offer Matching Crystal Accessories including earrings and bracelets.
