Horseshoes are a very well-known symbol of good luck and protection against evil- the iron that they were originally made from was believed to ward off evil spirits and even the devil himself while the number of nails that they were held in place with was seven, which was believed to be the luckiest number.  These 9ct yellow gold studs feature a 6mm by 6mm horseshoe with a 9mm front to back distance and butterfly backs for secure fastening onto your earlobes.  Both earrings will arrive in sealed packaging.
