A fascinating aspect of Victorian jewelry is the deep symbolism and sentimentality rendered in its designs. Aside from charm, ageless beauty, and nostalgic value, Victorian jewelry pieces, more often than not, contained a hidden meaning/message/story through the choice of material, shape, types of gemstones used, as well as their arrangement.

The horseshoe was considered a symbol of good luck and was thought to bring on success, prosperity and protect its possessor from evil. Facing upward they were said to bring luck to the wearer and facing downward, they sent luck out into the universe.
