This stunning antique horseshoe pendant, crafted from rich 18-carat gold, features seven brilliant old-cut diamonds totalling approximately 1.30-1.50 carats. Graduating in size, the single-cut diamonds capture and reflect light beautifully, even in low-light conditions. These rare, larger single-cut diamonds, each with 8 large facets, harken back to an era when diamond cutters prioritized preserving carat weight over intricate faceting, giving these stones their simple yet timeless elegance.
Originally crafted as a brooch in the early Victorian era, this piece has been thoughtfully converted into a pendant, with a handcrafted 18-carat gold bail for easy integration into modern charm holders and chains. This horseshoe, a classic symbol of luck and protection, is in excellent antique condition, with only minor nibbles to a few of the diamonds, as expected with age, and natural inclusions that add to the history and character of this wonderful antique piece.
Wear this versatile pendant on its own for a minimalist look or incorporate it into your necklace layers for a more eclectic style.
