DATE: Victorian, c.1890

A gorgeous Victorian diamond-set horseshoe pendant dating from the late 19th Century. It's crafted in 15 karat gold, and set with seven (always seven) rose cut diamond "nails". Horseshoes have long been associated with good luck, and it's said that the devil cannot enter a house with a horseshoe hung over the door. This one's modelled in 15 karat gold and attached to a chunky belcher chain for wear as a pendant.
