Antique gold and sapphire lucky charm pendant

Subscription - • Save

18Kt yellow gold horseshoe pendant (hallmark: owl) set with 6 sapphires, estimated to weigh approximately 1.00 Ct.

Antique brooch from the 19th century, transformed into a pendant.

Gross weight: 10.60 g
Height: 4.00 cm
Width: 3.00 cm

Condition: slight micro scratches on the gold parts, see pictures.

 

Reputed for centuries to ward off evil spirits, the origins of the horseshoe as a good luck charm are still a bit murky.

A legend says that in 969 AD, Saint Dunstan, the patron saint of blacksmiths in the Catholic Church, had the courage to deceive the devil: the latter
the devil: the devil ordered shoes, not for his horses, but for his own hooves!

Not wanting to work for him, Saint Dunstan decided at the last moment to drive the shoes into his foot with all his might. The pain being unbearable for him, the devil promised never to stop in a house on whose wall a horseshoe would be hung.

And it seems to work also when you wear it around your neck ;)!
