A finely worked Victorian brooch built around symbolism and restraint. The horseshoe, long associated with protection and good fortune, is paired with a riding crop motif, a subtle nod to equestrian life and the quiet status language of the late 19th century.
18k yellow gold and platinum, the brooch is set with approximately 0.75 total carats of Burmese rubies, their saturated red offering warmth and depth against the cool contrast of platinum rose-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 0.20 carats.
Measuring 29 × 24 mm and weighing 4.4 grams, the scale is refined and wearable, designed to sit neatly on a lapel or bodice. The original brooch fittings remain intact, a detail that speaks to careful preservation and authenticity.
