Silver Horseshoe Jewelry

The Silver Horseshoe Necklace is generally worn as a good luck charm or to celebrate the horse. Horseshoe jewelry is part of the equestrian jewelry genre but is worn mostly used as a good luck symbol.


 

Silver Horseshoe necklaces for many years online and have found that most horseshoe necklaces are made with horseshoe charms or pendants and the jump ring is attached on the underside of the horseshoe.

So when you wear the horseshoe necklace the horse shoe charm or pendant on a necklace hangs upside down. The luck drains out, or does it?

More than once a concerned consumer has emailed me to tell me the horseshoe necklace was incorrect. Typically horseshoe pendants and charms have their bail or jump ring affixed to the underside (closed side) of the horseshoe because it’s difficult to attach a removeable clasp to horseshoe charm or pendant on the top side (open). They do have some horseshoe necklaces that way but they are not common.

So does it really matter? It’s just silver horseshoe jewelry. It’s not like a real horseshoe nailed to a wall.

Horseshoes are considered a good luck charm in many cultures. The shape, how the horsehoe is made, where you place the horseshoe, and how you obtained the horseshoe are important issues when using the horseshoe for good luck. The same holds true for Horseshoe Necklaces


With Horse Jewelry and with life the most common tradition is that if a horseshoe is hung on a door with the two ends pointing up then good luck will occur. Or, rather the horseshoe fills up with good luck and doesn’t drain out. However, if the two ends point downwards then bad luck will happen because it all drained out.

But there are other traditions regarding the famous horse shoe good luck charm. It seems that for every culture that revears its horses has a tradition. They are not all the same.



In some cultures, the horseshoe is hung with the points downward. This is done so that good luck pours down onto you. This fits the common silver horseshoe necklace rather well.



Still, in other horseshoe traditions it doesn’t matter how it is hung but rather the issues are how did you get ahold of the horse shoe as long as the horseshoe has been used (not new), was found (not purchased), and can be touched.



These traditions have a few things in common. The horseshoe holds the luck. But where the luck goes is what matters. Does the luck pour down on you or those around you or is it contained in the horseshoe for only you.

In other traditions the owner of the horseshoe gets the luck regardless of who found it or who hangs it up. All the luck goes to the original owner.

There is another tradition that requires the horseshoe to be found for it to be lucky. You can’t buy it, trade for it, but it must be found.

Still another tradition goes like this: If a guests comes into your house where a horseshoe is above the door, they must leave by the same door through which they entered or they will take the luck from the horseshoe with them from the house. That’s a no no.



Does it really matter in the Horseshoe necklace how the horseshoe charm is hung? I guess it depends on which tradition you hold to. But Horseshoe jewelry charms actually go both ways with the expansion of the horseshoe jewelry charms we have added over the years.

Take a look at the of the horseshoe necklaces to see how they go both ways to appeal to everyone. And wear the horse shoe necklace to celebrate the symbol of the horse.
