Tutte le aste / Gioielli & Gemme / Antique Horseshoe Brooch With Pearls & Diamonds In Gold & Platinum, Circa 1910


"Believe in happiness, otherwise it will flee!" - not only Alexandra sang in 1967 in Accordion. The idea of being able to hold on to happiness is much older and finds its most beautiful expression in the field of jewellery in brooches in the shape of horseshoes. It was not quite clear in which direction the horseshoe should point. We find pieces of jewelry in which it is shown pointing downwards and those in which it is open at the top. If you believe that luck is fleeting, you wear the horseshoe with the opening facing downwards so that luck cannot fly away. However, if you believe that luck can be lost, you wear the horseshoe with the opening facing upwards - so that the luck remains safely inside. The brooch presented here is to be worn with the opening facing downwards: it therefore keeps the luck firmly with the wearer. The design combines pearls, diamonds and black onyx to create a design in the taste of the Belle Époque: delicate and precious, finely crafted and tasteful. We discovered the brooch in London. It bears modern hallmarks, which were added when the brooch was imported in 1997. The piece was therefore probably made on the continent. We date it to around 1910.
