Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1900

A gorgeous Victorian horseshoe brooch set with six graduated turquoise cabochon "nails". They display a gorgeous colour, with a small gold ropework infinity knot to the bottom. The date 22/12/03 engraved to the back, most likely a later addition...Crafted in 10k gold. 

 There are many superstitions on which way you should hang a horseshoe, however many believe that to hang a horseshoe with the ends pointing upward, acts as a storage container for any good luck that happens to be floating by, whereas to hang it with the ends pointing down is bad luck because all the good luck will fall out. This piece, with the infinity knot, maybe give as a gift for being lucky in love!
