The Horseshoe has long been a symbol of good luck and became a popular image in Victorian jewellery when there was an increase in superstition.
The stones have acquired a few hairline flaws over time but this is minor given the age of the piece and doesn’t detract from its beauty.
It’s a lovely find and a collectable piece of Victorian history.
