This brooch promises good luck. Because it is designed as a horseshoe, and horseshoes are known to bring good luck! Especially in the years just before and around 1900, such jewellery was a big fashion. It was not quite determined in which direction the horseshoe should point. We find jewellery where it is shown downward, and those where it is open upward. If one believes that luck is fleeting, one wears the horseshoe with the opening downwards, so that luck cannot fly away. However, if one believes that luck can be lost, one wears the horseshoe with the opening facing upwards - so that the luck remains safely inside. The horseshoe is made of high karat gold and set with sapphires and diamonds. Arranged alternately, the result is an elegant striped pattern, in keeping with the taste of the years around 1910. In total, just under one carat of diamonds and around 1.30 ct of sapphires are set into the piece of jewellery. We discovered the brooch in Westphalia and could not resist. May it bring happiness to its future owners - no matter how around it is worn!
