This rare Victorian-era horseshoe clip is a stunning example of 19th-century symbolism and craftsmanship. Horseshoes were widely worn as good luck tokens in the Victorian period, and this piece elevates that tradition with a regal arrangement of rich raspberry-hued rubies and sparkling old mine and rose cut diamonds.
The front features silver-topped settings, a common Victorian technique to enhance the brilliance of diamonds, while the back is crafted in warm, 10k yellow gold — a hallmark of authentic antique construction. Measuring 28 x 29 mm, this is a standout yet wearable treasure.
How to style it today:
Wear it as a brooch on a velvet ribbon choker, clip it onto a lapel for an equestrian-chic moment, or repurpose it as a dramatic hair accessory. For the truly adventurous, it can be converted into a pendant or incorporated into a bracelet — a conversation piece with infinite modern potential.
This estate piece is in beautiful antique condition and carries with it over a century of charm, symbolism, and high design.
