Estate 14K Yellow Gold Natural Seed Pearl Edwardian Horseshoe Brooch

This enchanting estate 14KT yellow gold horseshoe brooch features twenty-nine (29) natural seed pearls of graduated sizes ranging 2.23mm–3.11mm, set continuously along the horseshoe form in the Edwardian tradition of fine pearl jewelry, measuring 1-3/16" wide and 1-1/8" long with a total weight of 3.6 grams, stamped 14K. The brooch is presented in the traditional open-ends-down orientation — an old superstition that the horseshoe's good luck pours down upon its wearer. Please note: one seed pearl exhibits a slight color variation from the remaining stones, and the piece is offered as-is at a price reflecting this characteristic. Dates to the early 20th century Edwardian period.
