Laura: Ignite Your Year with the Fire Horse

the fire horse: a companion charm

The Lunar New Year is a dawn broken by moonlight, arriving quietly in the cool darkness of February. Across territories and traditions, this moment has long been understood as a catalyst for passionate ignition and aligned action.

This year, the lunar pull draws us into a rhythm fueled by intuitive fire. As the Year of the Fire Horse begins, we are invited into a warmth grounded in trust, intention, and courage.

The horse embodies the role of a wise companion, mythically riding between worlds and guiding us through the terrain of the unknown. It carries fortune forward, bringing the knowledge of instinct down to earth. Blazing with passion and ambition, the Fire Horse courageously forges new pathways and mindsets. It echoes figures like Yaoya Oshichi, the Edo-era heroine of Japanese folklore, whose forbidden love led her to light the world on fire, reminding us that a life of devotion demands our full selves.

To activate the energy of the Fire Horse, eugenie partnered with NYC jeweler BRUCE to hand-forge a charm in 10k gold. The warm metal evokes trust and resilience, while subtle diamonds set in the horse's eyes glimmer with brilliant clarity. Together, these materials imbue the wearer with a quiet confidence in the path ahead.

The Fire Horse charm is a steadfast companion for daily wear. Worn close to the heart or hand, it is designed to guide us into alignment with our deepest passions and usher us toward new worlds. Only a few charms were made for this Lunar New Year, now available exclusively at eugenie. Visit us in store to meet the Fire Horse, or bring its energy home through our online shop.
