This pendant joins two enduring Victorian symbols: the clover and the horseshoe. The clover, set with pearls, represented faith, hope, and love, while pearls themselves conveyed purity and heartfelt emotion. The horseshoe, a classic charm against misfortune, is studded with seven sapphires and diamonds—a deliberate choice, as seven has long been tied to good fortune, spiritual power, and protection. The diamonds and sapphires are old cuts of the highest quality.
