Dianne Partington, has collected vintage western and pawn jewelry for over 40 years and because of that has acquired a keen eye for quality workmanship. Silver Horse Designs, was born out of that passion. Many of her pieces have a Native American influence while others have a classic western style.

Working out of her tack room, Dianne creates one of a kind designs that include new pieces as well as re-designed pawn. Some of the turquoise she finds originates from mines that have long been closed, making her pieces more rare. She also uses top quality coral, pearls & semi-precious stones for added color and unique character, and only the finest sterling silver.

Her designs have been featured in national magazines, and have been worn, most recently, by American Idol winner and country super star, Carrie Underwood in a photo shoot for Country Weekly.

Since she was old enough to walk, Dianne has connected with horses and the classic California ranch lifestyle. A dedicated animal lover, she always dreamed of a life surrounded by horses, cattle, dogs and cats. She made that dream a reality while living on the Cojo Ranch in California, then later by moving to the central coast after meeting her husband Dan 15 years ago. Its is here that she has firmly planted her roots in the horse country of Paso Robles where she's raised a few good horses. Her passion for this lifestyle and Native American artistry inspired her to become a designer. You’ll often see her heading to town in her truck and always with her beloved dog Rowdy, hauling her horses or jewelry to events and trade shows, sharing a smile and a horse story with everyone she meets.

Anyone who knows Dianne will tell you that her greatest pride in life will always be her family - her husband Dan and three daughters, Angela, Alison and Aimee.
