Symbols carry energy. When we wear them close to the body, they become personal.

For centuries, horses and horseshoes have symbolized:

• Protection
• Luck
• Forward momentum
• Victory
• Strength in motion

A horseshoe worn upright is said to “hold” luck.
A horseshoe worn downward is said to “pour” luck onto the wearer.

In fine jewelry, the horse becomes more than a charm. In solid gold, it becomes a statement of endurance.

Gold does not tarnish under pressure.
It strengthens.
It lasts.

The combination of horse symbolism and 14k gold creates something powerful: luck that is self-made.
