Light Vitrail Five Row Crystal Browband
Light Vitrail is one of those crystal colours that genuinely surprises people the first time they see it in person. In a bright arena it reads as a cool, shimmering silver-blue. Take it outside into natural light and warm pink, lilac and aqua tones start coming through. That constant colour-shifting is what makes all-Light Vitrail work so well — there’s real depth to it even though you’re working with a single crystal throughout all five rows.
This is a ¾ inch, five-row browband: one row of 6mm Preciosa Maxima chatons through the centre, edged top and bottom by two rows each of 3mm Preciosa Maxima chatons. All five rows are Light Vitrail, all set in silver-plated cup chain. The effect is wide, full, and genuinely eye-catching — exactly what a five-row browband should be.
What You’re Getting
All crystals are Preciosa Maxima Point Back chatons — the premium Czech crystal with a precise facet cut that maximises light return. The crystals are set in silver-plated cup chain (the metal settings that hold each crystal in place) and are attached onto luxury, English Sedgwick bridle leather. Sedgwick leather is vegetable-tanned, produced in Birmingham, and widely regarded as the finest bridle leather available in the UK. It’s what good saddlery is made from, and it’s what I use for every browband.
Silver-plated settings are the only finish I offer for this browband. Light Vitrail is a cool-toned crystal and antique brass would pull warm and golden against those pink, blue and lilac tones rather than complement them. Silver is simply the right setting for this design.

What to Match It With
The blue-lilac palette of Light Vitrail coordinates well with grey, white and steel-coloured saddle pads — it picks up the blue and silver tones beautifully against those backgrounds. On a grey or dapple grey horse it really comes into its own.
It also pairs well with the softer colourways from LeMieux and Equestrian Stockholm — think silver grey, powder blue, or any of the cooler neutral tones. The pink tones that come through in certain lights make it a surprisingly good match for blush and dusty rose saddle pads too — it’s a more versatile browband than the blue-silver first impression suggests. If you ride in white show coats or pale blue competition shirts, this browband will complement rather than compete.
On dark horses — dark bays, blacks, dark chestnuts — the silver-blue catches the light in a way that reads as clean and striking rather than showy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I ensure the browband fits my horse’s bridle? A: Measure your current browband from end to end and compare it to our sizing options: small pony (13″), pony (14″), cob (15″), full (16″), extra full (17″), and x extra full (18″). The 2-inch loops offer a generous fit for various bridle straps.
Q: Can this browband be used for competitive events? A: Absolutely. The “Regal Navy & Siam Crystal Elegance Browband” is designed to make an impact in competitive settings, ensuring your horse looks its best in any event.
Q: How should I care for the leather and crystals? A: Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness. For the crystals, a soft, dry cloth is sufficient to maintain their sparkle.
Q: Is the browband durable for everyday use? A: Yes, our browbands are made with high-quality materials and construction techniques designed to withstand the rigours of daily use while retaining their beauty.
