LUCKY 18K BICOLOR 'HORSE SHOE' TIEPIN-1880.
LUCKY 18K BICOLOR 'HORSE SHOE' TIEPIN-1880. This is a beautiful late 19th century tiepin (circa 1880). Although it doesn't carry any legible control marks we believe it is Belgian. The tiepin has entirely been made of 18K bicolor gold (yellow and red), and features a horseshoe on top adorned by seven strass stones, 1 blue 2 red and 4 white stones. There is no consensus among historians as to when and by who horseshoes were first invented. What seems most plausible is that shoeing was invented by numerous armorers in different places at about the same time, and then kept as a military secret for a very short time - until the practice was apparently widespread. Fact is that to date they are considered to bring good luck. The tiepin measures 6.50 cm (2.56 inch) and weighs 1.70 gram (1.09 dwt). It is in excellent condition. Please when referring to this piece, mention the following number: 97169-0365, or click here. Recommended retail price for this piece would be approx. $ 179. All the goods we sell are accompanied by the Adin authenticity certificate. These bear the signature of Elkan Wijnberg, who in addition to being CEO of Adin, is a recognised expert for the Belgian Court of Justice, as well as by The Estate Jewelers Association of America, The American Society of Jewelry Historians, and The Association of the Antique Dealers of Antwerp. All our items will be shipped to the US by express with FEDEX for only $20. An additional $3 will be added for every extra item in the same parcel. On request we can pack every item in the same parcel in its own box, but then we'll have to charge an additional $6 instead of $3 per extra item We also have to inform you that in most countries outside Europe there is an import duty to be paid by the customer on pieces that are not antique (an object is considered antique if it is 100 years or older). For information about shipping charges to other countries, please contact us. One more thing, we can unfortunately not accept personal checks. To err is human. It doesn't happen often but it can happen to us too. We reserve the right to cancel any transaction where errors have been made. Emails received over the weekend will only be dealt with on Monday. Please bear this in mind.
