“Believe in luck, otherwise it will flee!” Alexandra was not the only one to sing these words in her 1967 song Accordion. Yet the idea of holding on to good fortune is far older and perhaps finds one of its most charming expressions in jewellery shaped as horseshoes. For centuries, however, there was no clear agreement as to which direction a horseshoe should face. Some examples open upwards, others downwards. Those who believed luck to be fleeting wore the horseshoe with the opening turned downward, so that fortune could not escape. Others, convinced that luck might instead be lost, preferred the opening facing upward, allowing happiness to remain safely contained within. The horseshoe on the present tie pin is worn with the opening facing upward. Luck, therefore, rests securely within it. Created around 1910, this elegant pin combines the symbolic meaning of the motif with fine materials and refined craftsmanship. Fashioned in gold and partially overlaid with platinum, it presents a horseshoe set with vivid rubies and sparkling diamonds. The lively contrast between the rich red gemstones and the bright white diamonds beautifully emphasizes the clarity of the design and gives the jewel a particularly vivid presence.
