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.

Sterling Silver Celtic Cross Necklaces for Men

Celtic Cross and Irish High Cross Necklace

The Silver Celtic Cross Necklace and the Irish High Cross Necklace are essentially the same. In fact I've heard from Native irishmen that to them they are all Irish Cross necklaces.



About the only difference is a historical one. The Celtic culture preceeded the Irish culture so all the the traditional Celtic designs were assimilated into the Irish culture and the Scottish culture. So all the Irish High Cross Necklaces are the same as Silver Celtic Cross Necklaces.



There is one thing that may seem confusing  from the pictures you'll see on this blog post is that some of the silver celtic cross necklaces will look more Celtic and some will look more Irish. But in the end it doesn't matter what you call them as long as you have enough of them to serve your inspirational Christian needs.

The Sterling Silver Celtic Cross Necklace genre has so many celtic cross necklaces to choose from you will find choices for every occassion and every gender like Celtic Cross Necklaces For Women.



Let's take a look at some of the Celtic cross necklaces you can choose from at HandCraftedCollectibles.com:

This St. Bridgid or Saint Bridget Cross Pendant Necklace is uniquely an Irish cross necklace.

Cross Necklaces

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND POEM
and Sterling Silver Footprints Cross Necklaces
Celebrate the Footprints In The Sand Poem with a sterling silver Footprints Cross Necklace.

Footprints In The Sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets of  footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:

“LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.

I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.”

The LORD replied: “My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you


This Footprints In The Sand Poem has been around for decades. It’s odd that only now are there footprints in the sand cross pendant necklaces to wear and serve as a constant visual reminder of this inspiried poem..

We have not one Footprints cross necklaces but two Fottprints in the Sand Cross necklaces. Check out the pictures. You can click on FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND CROSS NECKLACES if you want to buy them as a special reminder of the time tested wonderful poem. These footprint cross necklaces are designed to be used as both cross necklaces for men and cross necklaces for women.

Celtic Cross Jewelry Symbolism

SYMBOLISM OF STERLING SILVER CELTIC CROSS NECKLACES

The silver Celtic cross necklace genre is full of symbolism and ornate decorative stlying making the silver Celtic cross necklace wildly popular in Christian fashion jewelry.

As we examine the world of Celtic cross necklaces it is worth noting that their are Celtic Cross Necklaces For Men and Celtic cross necklaces for women. 

Our emphasis in this post is the vast selection of Celtic cross necklaces for men.

Here is a list of some of the various types and sub genres of Celtic cross necklaces:

  • Trinity Cross Necklace
  • Mens Irish Claddagh Pendant Cross Necklace
  • Irish High Cross Necklace for men
  • Mens Irish Shamrock Necklace

The irish or Celtic Cross are said to be a combination of Celtic traditional artistry and the Christian cross. This may be true but it is also said that a similars tyle of the traditional Celtic cross was in use with the pagan Celts before Christianity was introduced to them.

In basic form, Celtic crosses are a christian cross with a circle around the center of the cross. Everything else adds additional symbolism.



Why it is called the Mens Trinity cross necklace is becasue artisans have added a trinity symbol to the cross. The trinity symbol is Celtic in origin and when it was adopted by the Christians it was given the symbolism of the Trinity or Christian Godhead. The Trinity knot is in the general shape of the triangle. Each point in the triangle represents a member of the Godhead.

Mens Irish Claddagh Pendant Cross Necklace

The symbolism of the Irish Claddagh is made up of a crown, hands and a heart. The crown means loyality, the hands mean friendship and the heart means love. There's saying that goes with the Claddagh "In my hands I hold your heart crowning it with all my love".



Irish high cross necklaces for men are essentially another name given to the Celtic cross necklace. The Celts preceded the Irish, English and Scottish peoples and they all adopted to a greater or lesser extent Celtic symbols. The Irish High Cross is a cross with a circle around the center. it can be as simple or decorative as your tastes desires. The Irish high cross necklace or Celtic cross necklace is non denominational as it's popularity shows.

SILVER CROSS NECKLACES FOR MEN

Silver Cross Necklaces For Men
Back before Christian men were wearing cross necklaces on a regular basis gender wasn't and issue. All you really needed to worry about was which genre of cross necklace to buy. For instance, before mens cross necklaces were around you would look at a common bunch of crosses or some specialty designs like Celtic cross necklaces, Fleur de Lis Cross Necklaces etc.


(This mens cross necklace shown in the photo above is a mens filigree style cross necklace)

But now that Christian men are actively wearing silver cross necklaces for men you have to first determine what type of gender cross your buying then move on to the genre.

But at HandCraftedCollectibles.com, the world wide leader of sterling silver cross necklaces, you have access to a huge collection of the mens cross necklace.

(This is technically considered a western or Latin mens cross necklace. But after so many Churches were built in the same shape as this style of cross it also became known as the Church cross necklaces for men.)
 Men’s Cross Necklace we are going to show a few Men's cross pendant necklaces and talk about some of the symbolism of these cool mens crosses.
In this post about the

(The most obvious symbol of this men's cross necklace is the turquoise dove (of peace) in the center of the cross)



(This is a Timber Rope mens cross necklace)

(In some respects this men's cross necklace resembles a maltese cross but others see a fleur de Lis design on the tips of the cross pendant.)

Why Spend Your Money On Sterling Silver Jewelry?

During these tough economic times we all have less income to spend on clothes, accessories and jewelry. So why spend your money on sterling silver jewelry that has no meaning when you can spend your money on jewelry with a theme. Jewelry that has meaning. Jewelry that speaks to you.

What I mean by this is that there are essentially three general types of sterling silver jewelry. 1. precious or semi precious stones set in sterling silver. 2. Sterling silver jewelry in abstract shapes. Granted they are nice to look at but lacking meaning. 3. Sterling silver jewelry that has meaning like a cross necklace or a ASL "I Love You" pendant necklace, etc.

When you have sterling silver jewelry with a theme or meaning you have something special that can be a keepsake for a lifetime and a keepsake for generations to come.

More specifically...Jewelry with meaning could be a sterling silver cross necklace or a Inspirational Christian Necklace. I could be a a nice piece of Celtic Jewelry like a Celtic trinity knot necklace or a Celtic eternity knot piece.

Then there is sterling silver Animal Jewelry. With Animal jewelry you can find any one of many different kinds of animals that you like or that have meaning for you. click here to see all the possiblities: Silver Animal Jewelry.
