Victorian 9ct gold, turquoise & black enamel horseshoe pendant

The horseshoe was the ultimate Victorian good luck symbol, worn by everyone from royalty to factory workers, as a talisman against misfortune.

Turquoise was a beloved stone of the Victorian era. Worn as a token of faithful love, believed to protect the wearer from harm and thought to change colour if the giver's affections wavered. The 17 stones here are vivid and beautifully matched in colour.

The crisp black enamel border elevates this beyond a simple lucky charm into something altogether more sophisticated and graphic. A design that feels remarkably modern.

Converted from an old 9ct gold brooch, bright yellow in tone, suggesting it has been gilded in the past, with a more rosy, generous sized bale. In lovely antique condition.
