The is a stunning 14 karat rose gold horseshoe set with old mine cut diamonds from the Victorian era. Seventeen chunky old mine cut diamonds are set in raised 6 prong settings. The gold has a beautiful dark patina, which highlights the diamonds nicely. The diamond range in size from 3.75mm to 2mm with a total carat weight of 1.65 carats. The diamonds are H-J in color with SL1- I in clarity. Presenting bright and lively.
Topped in the center of the horse shoe with a rose gold bail this piece measures 2" x 1 1/2". The bail opening is 6.6mm so it can accommodate a larger chain. It weighs 6.8 grams. This piece was once a brooch but had the pin stem removed and the bail added. Now it is a fabulous pendant shown on a watch chain also on Kirsten’s Corner.
The wearer of this horse shoe pendant will be a generous soul as a horse shoe pointing down allows one to share their good luck with others.
