FAQs

Horseshoe brooches were popular talismans during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, representing good luck, protection, and a passion for equestrian pursuits. Often gifted as tokens of affection, they featured precious metals combined with pearls or gemstones.

These brooches were commonly crafted from 15-carat or 18-carat yellow gold and set with natural split seed pearls. The pearls were individually set into tiny cut-out mountings along the curve of the metal horseshoe frame.

Authentic pieces often feature period-specific hallmarks, such as 15 or .625 for 15ct gold, which was phased out in the UK in 1932. Additionally, original fittings typically include long steel or gold pins extending slightly past the hinge and simple C-clasps.

An antique brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the high collar of a button-down shirt, or attached to a silk scarf. It can also be worn clustered with other period pins or adapted as a pendant on a chain.

Clean seed pearls using a soft, dry cloth and never submerge them in liquid or use chemical polishers, as moisture can weaken organic mountings or degrade delicate pearls. Store the brooch separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent the metal pin from scratching the surface.
