Hollis Antique Horse Shoe Engraved Locket 9ct Gold

Hollis, an enchanting antique horse shoe engraved locket, is lovingly fashioned from opulent 9 carat gold, reflecting a cherished era of refined artistry.

She is a masterpiece crafted with devotion, inviting one to explore stories etched within her golden embrace and carry them forward with grace.

NOTE: Although modern superstition demands a horseshoe faces upwards so the luck won't run out, in this era, the downward pointing orientation was traditionally believed to pour luck and blessings onto the wearer, or to act as an amulet for protection against evil spirits.
