Horseshoe Bracelet Yellow Gold

5cm

The popular belief of the horseshoe as a magical symbol extends from Italy through Germany and even to Great Britain and Scandinavia. It is also very common to find doors built in the shape of a horseshoe. In the Middle East, horseshoe-shaped blue glazed terracotta is found. In Turkey, the horseshoe symbol has been incorporated into the famous Turkish Eyes to prevent the evil eye and bad luck, etc.
There are good reasons to suppose that the shape of the horseshoe is linked to the pagan symbol of the Moon goddess found in ancient Europe represented as Artemis and Diana, since this amulet invokes the protection of the goddess herself, or, more specifically, As such, the horseshoe is related to other protective deities, such as the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is often seen standing on a crescent moon and placed inside a Mandorla or besica piscis vulvar. In Europe, the Middle East, and colonial Spanish in Latin America, protective horseshoes are often placed upside down, but in some parts of Ireland and Great Britain people believe that horseshoes should be placed facing the sky.
