Art Nouveau 14K Gold Enamel Horseshoe Pendant | Good Luck Charm Necklace | American ca. 1900 | Antique Enamel Jewelry
$850.00
A finely executed Art Nouveau horseshoe pendant in 14K gold, accented with blue and white enamel forget-me-nots and suspended from a delicate gold chain.
The design reflects the movement’s characteristic use of natural forms and symbolic detail. The upturned horseshoe—long associated with protection and good fortune—is paired here with forget-me-nots, flowers that carried the meaning of remembrance in the Victorian language of flowers. The combination gives the piece both decorative appeal and quiet narrative significance.
Originally a brooch, the jewel has been converted to a pendant with the addition of a 14K gold split cable chain, allowing it to be worn with ease while preserving the integrity of the original design. The enamel remains vibrant and well-preserved, providing contrast against the warm gold ground.
A refined and wearable example of American Art Nouveau jewelry, with both symbolic meaning and period character.
