Synonymous with luck this luxurious horseshoe ring would make a perfect stacking ring to sit along with your other jewels. Dating to late 19th century era this is a particularly exquisite example!
The horseshoe often seen hanging over the entrance of a home, given to a newlywed couple, or worn as jewellery, horseshoes are thought to bring good luck and protection.
The central focus of this ring is a substantial horseshoe. Into this has been centrally placed a hand craved bloodstone. The intaglio depicts, a chapeau a martlet, encircled by a strap and buckle, containing the motto ‘Penetravi nubes‘. The Latin motto translates to ‘I have penetrated the clouds‘ and usually symbolises the wearer status as someone who rises above, sees clearly through obscurity.
