For sale is this French charm depicting a "13". This antique good luck charm is crafted in 18k solid yellow gold. It's made with love and hallmarked with a French eagle head mark. The 13 is cut out and adorned by hand, while the horse shoe is hollow and therefore a bit dented as visible in the pictures. The seven little hand cut european rubies are all a bit chipped but still a wonderful addition to this charm.
We adore this rare medal full of hidden good luck signs. First of all the horse shoe, which should ward off evil spirits. The seven horse nails decorated with rubies. (Traditional real horseshoes often use seven nails, a number associated with good fortune, the days of the week, and natural cycles) Rubies stand for prosperity, passion, and protection. And last but not least, the number 13 that is regarded as a lucky number. Especially in France and Italy around 1920. The happiest girls received a charm like this one from their loved one to protect them and bring them good luck.
This good luck charm is the perfect gift for that one person you love most. It will protect them and ensure that they go through life in style.
