RARE FIND ! Victorian Luck, Cast in Silver and Rose Gold.

Rare and commanding Victorian era lucky horseshoe brooch, masterfully crafted in solid sterling silver and adorned with 9ct rose gold accents. Measuring large and weighty, this brooch doesn’t whisper luck—it proclaims it.

The brooch takes the form of a bold, perfectly proportioned horseshoe—a widely recognized symbol of protection and good fortune. But this isn’t just any horseshoe. It’s steeped in centuries-old superstition: the seven golden studs (four on one side, three on the other) aren’t randomly placed—they are intentional, echoing the age-old belief that seven is the luckiest number of all. The rose gold end cap at the “heel” complete the design, adding a warm contrast that speaks to both luxury and lore.

In Victorian times, horseshoe brooches were popular tokens of protection and affection, often gifted to travelers, brides, and soldiers. When worn with the open end facing upwards—as this one is designed—it was believed to catch and hold in good luck, ensuring that fortune would never “spill out.

Today, these large, high-quality examples are highly sought after by collectors, with similar pieces fetching $400 (R7000) or more on the antique market. But beyond its value, this brooch tells a story—of tradition, superstition, and craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
