This Thursday marks the start of the Chinese New Year, and 2015 is The Year of the Goat (or Sheep/Ram), giving way for designers to create horned-themed pieces.
From pendants to rings to watches, channeling caprinae into jewelry gives wearers a bold, unique look, especially when horns are incorporated. Many designers use various gemstones to accent horns, hoofs and other details on these mammals, bringing glamour and brilliance to this animalistic look.
Here are eight pieces that “bling” in the Year of the Goat.

Alp Saginak of Atelier Minyon collaborated with Ethan Chodos to create this oxidized sterling silver "Satyr" ring with black and orange diamonds that retails for $8,565.
While not quite a goat, this ibex pendant by Katey Brunini is in the family tree, composed of carved moose antler and 18-karat yellow gold with diamonds (price upon request).
