The horseshoe has for centuries been used in jewellery as a symbol of good luck and featured heavily in Victorian jewellery, the Victorian era saw a great surge in the popularity of jewels with meaning and symbolism and the horseshoe was no exception.
This lovely piece is crafted in 9ct yellow bloomed gold, giving it a higher carat appearance, lightly brushed and polished in different areas highlighting the different areas of the horseshoe.
The bottom rim is engraved with the name Violetta, probably given originally as a good luck gift.
This brooch can be worn in many ways and is a beautiful and versatile piece.
The brooch is fully hallmarked on the reverse though this is significantly worn, late 19th century.
It has an old C type clasp and pin fastener, it is hollow so is lightweight and easy to wear.

Weighs approx 3.28 grams
Condition:
