This ‘lucky nail’ brooch is made from 14k yellow gold with a platinum front. The nail is set with a cushion-cut ruby and a row of rose-cut diamonds.
Equestrian lucky jewels that depicted horseshoes, horseshoe nails, or a combination of these symbols were worn quite often in the late 19th and early 20th Century. These jewels were not only a beautiful fashion statement but also served as a lucky token.
If desired, this brooch could be converted into a pendant for a small fee.
