Victorian Persian Turquoise Gold Horseshoe Charm Pendant c.1880s

Description

This adorable charm pendant has been made from an original Victorian stickpin. Finely modelled with cabochons of Persian turquoise and set in buttery 14ct yellow gold gallery setting.

The Victorians loved jewellery that had additional meanings and this likely would have been given by a young lady to her sweetheart. The horseshoe for luck, and the turquoise representing protection since ancient times.

It makes a beautiful charm pendant worn on its own or layered with other pieces.
