Antique: French 18 Kt Gold, Diamond & Sapphire Horseshoe Brooch

This is what French jewelry craftsmanship is all about. This antique equestrian sporting themed piece is from the late 19th c. and is crafted from 18 kt gold. True equestrian elegance!

The detailed hand engraving changes from a pattern that depicts a looping gold braid at the bottom to a coiled rope at the top. At its center, is a horseshoe studded with sparkling old cut diamonds and sapphires.

This one-of-a-kind jewel has a number of unique design elements. The horseshoe at the center has three gems on one side with a cap at the end and four gems on the other. This kind of attention to detail is the hallmark of the an artist.

Wear it as a pin or turn it into a necklace (horizontally) or consider wearing it vertically and hanging other charms from the loop.
