Horseshoe Opal and 18K Gold Ring

Horseshoes have adorned jewelry since ancient times, with historical evidence tracing back to the Roman era. The tradition of wearing horseshoes for luck peaked during the Middle Ages in Europe, believed to fend off evil and bestow blessings. This belief endured, shaping the design of horseshoe jewelry, which remains popular today as symbols of protection. The opal horseshoe ring likely originates from the late 19th to early 20th century, resized and tested at 18K gold, weighing 2.52 grams.
