White and yellow gold horse shoe rings with prices starting at around £150.
The most popular lucky charm is the horseshoe and its representative models in the form of jewellery, wall hangings, and printed images. With this in mind, the Diamond Store has several designs in white or yellow gold for you to choose from. These horse shoe rings are very popular as they have many uses: being excellent traditional bridal gifts, a present for someone keen on horses or they can be given as a token to wish someone good luck.
The use of worn horseshoes as protective amulets, hung above or next to doorways, originated in Europe, where they are still very much in evidence nailed on to houses, barns, and stables from Italy through Germany and up into the United Kingdom and Scandinavian countries. There are various theories which way up the horseshoe should be hung, except in Italy when a horseshoe is nailed by the side of the door (not above it) and the direction is not considered important. What is important is that the horseshoe has been worn and discarded by a horse, was found in the road or in a field and the person entering can touch it. In the Middle-East you will see blue glazed horseshoe plaques warding off evil spirits an in Turkey small metal or blue glass horseshoes are blended with the all Seeing Eye to ward off the evil eye.
The symbolic crescent form of the horseshoe links the pagan Moon goddesses Artemis and Diana in that the protection invoked is that of their sacred vulva. It can also be linked to the Blessed Virgin Mary who is often shown standing on a crescent moon and placed within a vulvae mandorla or vesica pisces.
If you want to continue the horse shoe theme into a diamond jewellery set, then the Diamond Store also has horse shoe earrings and horse shoe necklaces which are all currently available at unrepeatable prices.
