Antique Horseshoe and Nail Pendant of 18k Gold

Steeped in symbolism and Victorian charm, this antique pendant (circa 1890) celebrates luck, protection, and perseverance through its beautifully detailed design. Originally crafted as a brooch, the piece has been thoughtfully reimagined by our jeweler, who removed the original pin findings and added a 14k gold jump ring bail to transform it into a pendant that can be worn and cherished every day.

The design features a finely rendered horseshoe and nail motif — long regarded as talismans of good fortune — accented with vibrant red and blue glass and two petite split pearls for a refined touch of elegance.

The pendant measures 1.9 inches from the top of the jump ring to the bottom by 0.6 inches wide and is offered in great condition with minimal signs of wear. The gold content has been verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring both authenticity and quality.

A rare and meaningful jewel from the late Victorian era, this pendant is a perfect blend of symbolism, style, and historical craftsmanship — ideal for the collector who appreciates jewelry with soul and story.
