{"product_id":"victorian-15ct-gold-ruby-diamond-horseshoe-bangle-c-1880","title":"Victorian 15ct Gold Ruby \u0026 Diamond Horseshoe Bangle, c.1880","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine and characterful Victorian bangle in 15ct gold, c.1880, formed with a square-profile body crossing over at the top with gold ball terminals, and set to the centre with seven alternating rubies and diamonds — four rubies and three old-cut diamonds totalling an estimated 0.28 carats of diamonds and 0.15 carats of rubies. The seven-stone horseshoe is a specifically lucky configuration: the horseshoe itself has been a symbol of good fortune in British culture since at least the medieval period, and the tradition of setting it with seven stones — one for each nail hole — amplifies that symbolism. The alternating ruby-and-diamond pattern, with its contrast of warm red and cool white, is a classic Victorian combination. The bangle is hinged with a secure box-and-button release clasp. Unhallmarked; tests as 15ct gold. Weight 17g; internal diameter approx. 6cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1880\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 6cm (2⅜ inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated diamond weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 carats (three stones, old-cut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated ruby weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 carats (four stones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unhallmarked; tests as 15ct gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClasp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hinged box-and-button release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wildsmith Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41626880311485,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2127\/0385\/files\/62564642-75C1-4CA9-BECF-8FCF308E6EFE.jpg?v=1728136188","url":"https:\/\/wildsmithjewellery.co.uk\/products\/victorian-15ct-gold-ruby-diamond-horseshoe-bangle-c-1880","provider":"Wildsmith Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
