Fashionista NOW: Lucky Horseshoe Jewelry Fashion Inspiration

Lucky Horseshoe Jewelry Fashion Inspiration

Horseshoe jewelry is quite minimalist that it deserves a feature as we unearth more hidden gems that can be worn layered, stacked or on their very own.

I don’t think I’ve ever found the shape of a horseshoe as appealing as it is now especially as a streamlined simple charm held by chains on necklaces or rendered as an unexpected open shape on rings. These horseshoe necklaces, rings and even bracelets are sometimes referred to lucky horseshoe jewelry which makes me wonder where the ‘luck’ is actually derived from.

Is it a personal form of luck, or something larger than that? Apparently, in many cultures, it is the latter. Find out more about the symbolism behind the horseshoe below as you ogle these pretty handcrafted gems.

The direction of the horseshoe with its open end facing up signifies ‘luck not running out’ in Ireland, Britain and North America. The facing down of the open end of the horseshoe symbolizes ‘luck pouring out on you’ in most countries in Europe, Middle East and Spanish-colonial Latin America.

In Italy, the direction of which the horseshoe is hung isn’t of importance in particular when it’s used as a protective amulet by the side of the door. What’s most important is that the horseshoe was genuinely worn by a horse and discarded by it (not bought).

Since the horseshoe is related to the shape of the crescent moon which is associated with the pagan moon goddesses, it is said to draw power from this link.

The superstitions revolve around it may not mean anything of essence to you (and me) and it could very well be that we simply like the open design of the horseshoe just like the crescent moon, which are both lovely female-centric symbols!
