The Artistic Pony, Ltd. opened it's doors in August of 2006.  Our goal was to create a special place where locals and tourists would like to come and enjoy beautiful jewelry in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  We believe jewelry should be experienced and "played with".  Trying on items you wouldn't normally wear is half the fun!  Throughout our first year we discovered our customers thought we were on the right track.

What we didn't know in the beginning was that there was so much talent right here in the Santa Ynez Valley.  Artists who made handcrafted jewelry and glasswares began emerging.  We grew from a couple of local artists to over 20 to date and still growing.  This adds an extremely creative dynamic to our product line and gives our customers an item that is truly a treasure.

Because everyone has a different idea of what beautiful is we carry items that are handmade and handpicked.  We carry items that we have purchased that we feel are of superior quality and design.  This allows us to meet the needs of your traditional and eclectic sides.

2009 has brought a new set of challenges for everyone.  In light of this we no longer have our storefront in Solvang but are in the process of opening a NEW Studio by March.  We invite you to come and see us.  The Studio will be open by Appointment.  We are also expanding this website with more catalogue pages to make shopping more convenient when you can't travel to see us.

Special Events are also being added during the year featuring many of our artists.

If you are not on our mailing list we invite you to send us your information so we can alert you to upcoming events and new artists.

Enjoy exploring the Artistic Pony Studio web site and if you visit the Santa Ynez Valley we'd love to hear from you to show you our NEW Studio in Santa Ynez California. Stop by, say hello and see what's new.
