Victorian Horseshoe Diamond Ring

This antique Victorian era rose cut diamond horseshoe ring was made in Austro-Hungary, circa 1900. 

This utterly charming signet ring features a horseshoe motif at the front of the bezel. The motif has symbolised luck and fortune for centuries. The legend is believed to date back to the middle ages when evil forces were supposedly repelled by horseshoes.

The horseshoe is set with a total of 11 rose cut diamonds, all in rubover gold settings. The diamonds are foil-backed to enhance their lustre by reflecting light back out through the stone, and the triangular facets of the rose cuts allowed them to glisten more beautifully in candlelight.

The ring is crafted in 14K gold and weighs 7.68 grams. The horseshoe measures 12mm x 9mm, and the diamonds measure approx 2mm across each. The inner band carries an Austrohungarian ‘fuchskopf’ fox head hallmark which indicates 14K gold, made in Vienna between 1872 and 1922. There is a maker’s mark present.

維多利亞時期是珠寶界充滿巨變與創新的時代。這個時期從 1837 年延續至 1901 年，風格百花齊放，從浪漫感性到哥德式與怪誕風格皆有。1861 年亞伯特親王逝世後，煤玉、縞瑪瑙與珊瑚在紀念珠寶中的運用開始流行。1867 年南非鑽石礦的發現，使鑽石在珠寶中的運用增加，枕形、玫瑰及老礦切工等更繁複的寶石切工也隨之盛行。

維多利亞時期珠寶亦以運用複雜的象徵意義著稱，例如代表永恆之愛的蛇形圖案，或以花卉傳達隱藏的含意。這個時代的珠寶採用最上乘的材料，由技藝精湛的工匠製作，以其獨特魅力與優良品質，成為最令人嚮往的古董珠寶之一。
