Horseshoes bring luck! Our ancestors already knew this association and therefore enjoyed this lucky bangle made of gold and shimmering natural pearls. Probably made in the years before the turn of the last century, the bracelet was once a romantic gift, as it was presented in Victorian England as a pledge of love. By the way, in former times the horseshoe was mostly worn with the opening downwards, whereas today it is mostly shown with the opening upwards so that - so the widespread belief - no luck can fall out. In the Victorian age, however, exactly the opposite was assumed: One wanted to prevent luck from flying away with the horseshoe or to achieve that it would flow out of the horseshoe to its wearer. The attached page from the catalogue of the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company, from the years around 1900, shows us a selection of bangles with a horseshoe motif, executed in gold and pearls, which helps us to date the present bracelet. The piece is in very good condition and would make a lovely gift to a loved one.
