Victorian Horseshoe Brooch with Seed Pearls, c.1900

A charming late Victorian horseshoe brooch, dating to around 1900, set with delicate seed pearls in square-cut settings.

Traditionally worn as a symbol of luck and protection, the horseshoe has long been a favourite motif in antique jewellery. The pearls have a soft, natural lustre that is best appreciated in movement, catching the light beautifully.

Lightweight and easy to wear, it sits neatly on a lapel, knit, or scarf — a subtle, meaningful everyday piece.
